Time and Nothingness

If you chased riches all your life,
& never became the richest,
abandoned the ones that loved you
For the things money can do for you,
Wrapped in wants, more, & shun gratitude,
When you die, 
the earth will not miss you,
All your time was for yourself,
Seeking vanity and nothingness.
