Well-off or poor, the tear tastes salty

What do you gain in this materialistic life?
Yes, it's bigger than an ocean
But a dropp cannot swallow
Until the eyes get red a man could cry
And it's his emotional expression.
But very few understands the bitter language.
Tear! Please do not run away towards Oceans
That's the only wealth a soul collected in his lifetime.
