Fanciful Thinking
Wearing the finest designer clothes
good character does not make,
For many a multi-millionaire
has been discovered
to be an outright fake.
Godly words are mighty easy to pen--
easier than living the Golden Rule
Or thinking of yourself
more highly than you ought,
well, it’s nothing but pure bull.
Throwing money or words around
without sowing a meaningful seed
Is fanciful thinking at its absolute best,
and, the rewards are hollow indeed.
