Brandon Carter Poet Lyric

Rich In Wealth

Written October 7, 2015


I want to be
rich in wealth
Not measured by bank accounts
But by the greenery around my house
Feel like a mouse
In this maze of a world
in which we live
I want to be free and
Cool as the crisp clean morning air
Wind moving over mountains
Cutting through canyons, valleys
Snaking like a river through your hair
Does anyone care?
Chained to this desk
Building up stress
Contemplating visiting the Brooklyn Bridge
For pleasure
or to plunge to my death

Andrea Dietrich February 10, 2016 at 3:35 PM oh my, that last line. Hmmmm. anyway, until that part, I very much liked what you were saying about being rich in the world! Wealth is nothing when there is so much else of importance for us.
