Love Versus Money Your Choice

Intelligence 
Knowledge 
Ivy League 
State Educated
Working Class 
Upper Class
Held in high regard 
Or a lowly security guard
Single Parent
Family of 10
Reared in a Pen
Holidaying in the Hampton's 
Penthouse suite on the corner of 5th and Central
Bus commute to work
Or Chauffeur driven limos 
And Broadway shows 
Or pint of beer and salt and vinegar crisps 
Hand me downs and a handshake from dad for a birthday gift
Can't buy love
Can't put a monetary price upon it
Its priceless 
Everything else is window dressing
There are as many if not more 
Unhappy wealthy people than there are poor
