Beware of the Wings That Lift You

Just a break to explain to you,
that money and confidence in yourself,
are the wings that raise you above both,
men and threats of the world,
but often in the precipitancy of the flight speed,
the wings themselves inevitably lead you against the rocks,
with such violence as to cause you an instantaneous death.
