A wealth derived from riches alone…

 

Money can make you rich beyond compare      

Its vault needs guarding the little it does share.

A wealth derived from riches alone

Can be just one half; of a frugal wishbone.

“The half held back” just maybe, what is longed for?

A poor man’s meal can be a bounty no lessor

A poor man gives of his heart and soul

Rich men want a prenuptial agreement.

They need to be loved and in sole control

Lesser men they’re passionate, vehement.

Heed little by their store if you forestall

Your hearts kiss their cargo sinks in a squall.

Rich men just charter another voyage.

…Into another self-love, in bondage.
