Affluence
Seek to know more
As affluence spores
Here at the door
Feel ample core
Watch success shore
When less is more?
Wonder works well
Just where you dwell
To each a prize
Of grand surprise
Look, do you see?
Watch what may be
Count your blessings
Feel soul telling
Each moment thrills
The easy will
Do what you need
Beyond coarse greed
And when you bleed
Watch how pain feeds
The path of wealth
Tells of your health
Truth has a way
To save your day
See that you see
Love that sets free
Purpose finds gain
In passion's pain
Live not in vain
For love speaks plain
Undo the lust
Lest you go bust
Unhinge vain greed
Take what you need
Too soon, too late
Death's at the gate
All earthly things
End with death's sting
Use well your time
To grace fond chimes
Know this my friend:
This life must end
