Wealth I Do Not Believe In You

Wealth I do not believe in you Let me live minimum life Life of with want, joy and hardship I shall be happy on earth Can I sustain myself on earth? Can I provide for my family needs? Does family have respectable shelter? Can I give some charity to the needy? If those questions are in the positive Then why accumulate material wealth? What fame do I want in real sense? What is that pride for anyway? My friend, listen to this I say today For every extra car, shirt you have For the extra acres of land you possess For every idle dollar you keep There is someone you cause to suffer Consider the temporary existence on earth Take note of the temporary nature of life Then why deny fellow humans basic needs? Pride with accumulated wealth on earth Is to be a human lioness void of reason But pride in wealth of the brain, good name Pride in wealth of humility and love count Virtues are superior forms of wealth They are best investments in humanity
