The Secret To Money and Power

You need it, u want it, just to know how it feels You’re tired of your hands shaking every time you handle the bills You always have just enough to get by, but not past You’re tired of wondering how long your credit will last The secret to money and power: Wasting not your mind on poverty another hour The secret comes to the one who is most proud Of whatever he or she affords to have around If a broom is all you have, just smile and grab it Sweep the floor clean, and you may find a coin to eat The secret to money and power: Living in a shack, but imagining it is a tower The only thing to fear is fear, someone once said Look at everything as if, it has all been paid Where there is a will there is a way, all debts will clear If every minute all the while, you choose to be of cheer The secret to money and power: Dropping your worries and picking up a pretty flower You don’t need to be a billionaire, or be the pope But you can be anything you want, if you nurture that little hope Yes, that little hope, that comes and goes Let it stay and never go, and watch yourself become a boss The secret to money and power: Singing a happy song while in the shower Peasants have often become landlords, and vice versa Lepers have survived plagues while champions die of cancer For playing along or against this little secret There is a reward to reap, or some empty regret The secret to money and power: Removing what makes your thoughts sour

Very nice. i like the lines "The only thing to fear is fear, someone once said Look at everything as if, it has all been paid". i think if we see it that way, then we don't have to worry. #7
