Affluence Fights Influence

I check what I can handle,
Try to be intense candle:
Why? To burn brightly for light:
All the time a welcome sight...

I should men carry along,
Now with common sense,soon song.
Strive I to be The Humble,
In found gloom letters mumble:
Words that can't make one stumble
Nor a held China tumble...

Yet have I foes who grumble 
And when my speech starts crumble.
It's like I had clinched sweet chance
To make it past closed entrance...

They have glimpsed my cistern 
Not any thing The Western:
All of them Men of Affluence
Who could cost Lucky Influence.
