Enough

There is enough wealth within man's quarters
But little persuasion in the hearts of its holders
That their healthy accounts
With swelling amounts
Can fund good deeds
Answer to plights and dire needs
Rekindling faint hopes
And even broadening their scopes

There are enough arguments in reprise
To reinforce being wise rather than otherwise
Beautifying the toil of building
And cautioning of the ease of destroying
Building an ethic
And treasuring it as a relic
Taking our endowment with substance
As an immaculate building chance
