Super Rich

All money in the world has become mine my coffers are all bursting at the seams Can't count it, for I do not have the time I know there's more than in my wildest dreams. There's gold dust all around me, everywhere not stacked up in a vault in tidy bars to step upon it barefoot I never dare this unforgiving surface, planet Mars. Refuge I've taken here my tent I pitched more Oxygen and food sent every week we order it online, we super rich to those with less than me I do not speak. My telescope is aimed straight at the Earth where everyone is poor, all day they moan whilst I who could not ever wish for more must sit here day by day and wish alone.

Beautiful write, Viv. I must say your first line made me a tad bit envious.

Interesting take on the theme Mr Viv... I'm happy here with the poor down on earth there are some super rich people here on the Island - but all the money in the world can't buy them happiness or indeed health :-) hugs Jan xx

How true, Jan, how true. I thought for the comp I'd think outside the box and get away from those 'Lotto ads' scenarios. If I didn't have the ties but had the cash, I'd move to Namibia. Love the place. Viv x
