Now I Know

Lore set in my mind And I understood why Poor is riches when one is content Hand me contentment to triumph over my fears Ideal life for me was to possess an abundance of riches As a young man I wanted to grow a happy chap Eye opening moments prevailed And changed my whole being Many occasions in my life forced me to realize that Happiness is for every man despite their state of wealth Mentors failed to unwind my state of unhappiness Hacked by their shameful advices they vanished They run in different pathways Elate my soul so I can stand on my own They’ve feed me junk thus I’m stuck on their philosophy Emend my perceptions to flee their view of ordinary people Riches has created this wall around me and its separates us People I grew up with can’t climb to where I am Ridged is my life without real happiness Peacetime is all I need for my soul Ordinary men has no walls around them They are not afraid of scarcity Orders by economy has no grip over them They possess genuine happiness free of materialism
