Wealth and Pain

Your wealth could work against you
When those around you are there for it
Your early death is of inordinate benefit
They then serve to facilitate the ending 

Those around are usually partners 
In a life where one lives in communities
Siblings, relatives & partners stay around 
Especially when the body gets weak with age

When those around fail to be true 
You become source for money-grubbing  
Even after they promote early earthly exit 
Your legacy gets traded to sustain cupidity
