No Money, No Friend

No money, no friend,
That’s the usual trend,
When you’ve got money you’re a guest,
For you’ll find plenty of friends and respect,
But if you don’t have it you’re a pest,
They’ll trample on you with no slightest prospect.

Are you familiar with the late Ray Charles? He had a hit song some years ago titled "Busted". Your entry here reminds me a bit of Ray's song.
