Rich Or Free


If the option was rich or free,
Which would I chose for me?

Would I opt for free?
Would I prefer to be rich?

If I chose to be free,
I would discover that
Freedom is riches unrivaled

If I chose to be rich,
I would soon learn that riches
Tend to attrack burdens and
Passions that enslave.
