Peniaphobia

Why feel so poor and strange?
Dare to count on change


More comes to greet you
Shape fondly grand dues

Ignorance seeds dark
Watch poverty spark


Knowing not much here
Not enough of cheer


Fear clusters more fear
Feel lack squeeze more tears


Do you feel this mood?
Leeching of all good


Sad story in slack
Gain ample more lack


Mad xenophobia
Grips peniaphobia


Why not good enough?
Yes you deserve stuff


See your wealth increase
Peace of mind brings ease
