Such 
riches 
overflow;
Sink your teeth in,
a house made of cheese;
Strawberry sweet!

Yet we can still lose the shoe

The ultimate indulgence…

Riches Unknown

The chest is open

The jewels uncounted
  —with riches unknown

With hope comes failure
With triumph comes fear
With peace comes worry
With riches comes pain
With poverty comes envy

Sun Day

The sabbath day is not for snitches
Its just a day to scratch your itches
Go have some fun
Take in some sun
And enjoy Mother Nature's riches!

Fire

Firestones tease wealth;
in heat
in prosperity
in wonder. 

Extend your grasp
Wound your infinity lines 
And steal its riches for yourself.

Making Me Blink

Sitting around, with my riches:
Owning bills with values of thousands. 
When I blink my eyes and see...
It's only polished metals making me blink.

Rich and Famous

Any total ignoramus
Can end up rich and famous,
But riches and celebrity
Often lead to misery.
Contented I have grown
Being poor and little known.
