Rich Thoughts, Poor Habits

With no riches to afford happiness, I dwell in poverty and pain
With no payment in sight, I shut my eyes to a world I do not know 
Coins jingle as they search for a way of escape from my entrapment 
The increments are present, yet I have no sense 
With dreams of spending blindsided by the reality of begging
