Valued Riches Part 2

From rags to riches come money and “*****es”, thus leaving values buried in the past.

The tombstone reads “there lies integrity and morals”, they all tend to die around the same 
fiscal year; tax season. Greetings! To big checks with no longevity. We buy new shoes, 
a new purse, rocks and rings. Bills are overdue, guess you can’t pay for everything. There’s 
always next year, struggle ‘til then; oppress yourself. Got to love that rest assured happiness 
for the moment all for our valued riches.
