Do Not Make Me Poor
Number one.
Ambition- to acquire lots of money.
From childhood then education, to jobs, to progression.
Always more money.
To earn and to spend.
To buy justice, health, and nice things, some big nice things.
A life for money. Primarily.
Who to date? Who to marry?
How to raise your children?
College costs?
How to spend time?
For money.
The poor have strong needs, and worry.
There can be suffering for want.
But I have enough money! Thank God.
I am not “poor.”
