Living Life Teaches Me New Realities

Living life teaches me new realities,
sometimes all gets dark and unclear;
in this labyrinth I get lost and fear
that what I've built will surely crumble,
but starting over gives no guarantee,
no lasting hope to others or me;
how strong is the need to save all,
'though wisdom points to alternatives!

What are the secrets of the illuminati?
They won't share them with anyone;
be a part of them and wealth is yours...
have you noticed how powerful they are?
Humble folks are banned from riches,
and this reality forces many into poverty...
I'll take any opportunity before it's gone;
may my fortunes amass to end despair!
