He had a house and money he could spend.
But that was not enough; he wanted more.
He met a person posing as a friend,
and she could see that greed was at his core.
She flattered him. His mentor she became.
She got him to invest all that he had.
Too gullible was he to guess her game.
He sobs with grief now, feeling ever sad.
He took out loans and put himself in debt
to feed his need to be a wealthy guy.
He’ll lose his house and possibly his wife
here now at the lowest point of his life.
