It comes from the very soul and a feast to the soul, a sublime timeless classic share.... Silpika

What's the Biblical quote? " It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven," ( May not me exactly correct, quoting from old man's memory) lol. Wise poem my dear friend. Thanks for sharing, Bill

Perhaps it is the latter--greed takes over no matter how much they have. Well said, my friend. Love the colors on your flowers.

Absolutely, my dearest friend, Vijay! It is the thirst for wealth soul that causes the problem. Thank you for your precious visit and comment! Blessings!

Dear friend Demetrios, you poured your wisdom into action. The juxtaposition of two opposing ideas creates a powerful effect here. Anyone has the potential to lose all of their money quickly.
