Wealth is not a prize it is a curse Because the more you have The more others know your worth And then Jealousy, greed, and desire Take over As people see wealth As the key to power But Wealth is a curse. Believe it Having it is worse Then having some Or enough to live life Without the threat Of someone coveting Because If you have it. Others want it. And the battles never end And it’s hard To find a friend Who isn’t looking for something… Sniffing at your wallet Thinking of the ways That they themselves Can share it So Wealth is a curse to be avoided History shows That wealth is self absorbing Wealth is a curse A cautionary tale Be thankful that you don’t Have a ship within that gale.
