Money Can'T Buy Happiness

You lead a luxurious life, superior finance allows you to have a sense of grandiosity, people of a lower stature seem to fit the perfect mold for the term irrelevant, like appendix, but soon your wealth leads to vulnerability, standards become everything and the simple things in life no longer trigger your excitement, so you begin to question your sobriety, maybe that is the answer, little do you know dependency can be worse than cancer, so you start off on the bottle, but that only provokes.. you to try something more potent, now your spending habits are more ubiquitous and basically you're poor.. but this all could have been avoided if you kept the attitude of the girl Next Door..

I've heard it said that poverty doesn't buy happiness either but I would have to agree that more money means more problems

Hi Jesse, thank you for the mail... I want to thank you for this poem. Money does not buy happiness. The blind fold won't be removed, UNTIL -- WE who dwell, on the joy of money see and accept its evil form... enjoyed...Linda
