Poor People With Money

A poem based on my stupid uncle in Nicaragua who backstabbed the family and kept selling our farmland to make fast money so he can please his young girlfriends to please them. They left him eventually

If the poor won the lottery
We will give it all away
We'll go on a spending spree
We actually believe money
Grows on trees
So we will spend it on things
We don't need
While the rich know how to invest it
They get a return in their investment
But the poor is stuck with resentment
My cousin won a settlement
But she was quick to spend it
She could have bought a house
and could have rent it
and live off the payments
Instead she bought 3 cars
and crashed them all
Now the money is gone
She was very dumb
In Nicaragua
My grandfather owned a bunch of farmland
But when he died
My uncle sold as much as he can
He found a hot young woman
Who is half his age
But to keep her by his side
He had to pay
So he thought with his penis
And sold half the land
Just for a piece of a a*s
But when the money didn't last
She dumped him fast
But now he has kids
They now went to college
So he sold more land
Behind everyone's back
To pay for their tuition
But when the money ran out
They stopped calling him
Materialistic poor people
Are really damn stupid
The rich laughs
as they put money in the bank
The poor cries
Cuz they gave away all that had
With no plan
They will never get their money back

"First you get the power, then you get the money, then you get the women" Scar face. "A fool and his money are soon parted." There's a bunch of em. Your uncle should read my poem "Hookers and Crack." That would be cheaper without emotional attachment

Yes wow so very true ....................
I probably would invest wisely give to poor people
anyway you be hounded by people
might not even be safe to walk around your familiar places
you would t like to be in the shoes of that couple who won these millions .....
anyway a great write ...............

a lot of couples who won the millions also lose their money quick. they dont invest in it properly and half of the money gets taxed.

Wow, I really like this! I think the poor people get so overwhelmed by the sight of money in their eyes since they don't have much of it! So then they decide to go out and spend all of it. It makes sense but at the same it's sort of stupid. They could save all of the money to buy more important things later on in life. I like how this speaks a message that many needs to listen to, and at the same time tells a true story about some of your family. Well done, like always! :)

thanks for your review. my family is hurt and betrayed by my uncle. he stabbed everyone in the back. He sold the land and he tricked our grandmother into giving him this power. He kept selling more and more land, pocket the money and wasted the money fast without investing it. Now the people who bought the land are very wise and are making a lot of money off it........ ugh...now were stuck with a small piece of land. my aunt had to hire a lawyer to find out the truth........so sad...the money and land lost,,,,,, the family could have made a lot of money off it

You're very welcome! I understand that is a real sad story. I wish that didn't happen to you and all of your family that suffered. It sucks when you atleast one of your family members to ever in their life to stab your back.
