Modern Wealth

Though Avarice holds tight to all
The diamonds I hold mean more than mere sums.
But in days of modern decay, when money means more than heart or home
'Tis no surprise that hearts harden and ignore.
To cry is to fall at the feet of men-
A curse of still holding onto humanity.
Side-effects follow, a kaleidoscope of weakness.
As far as prayers are concerned, I've never stopped for you
'Tween greed and time, they've been restrained
And kept too far from you.
Apologies sent in simple text are pennies.

  • You, were unaware that diamonds came with debt.
    Ironic sure, but that's the way it is, got my vows off the internet.
    You, say crying weakens my immune system,
    But don't forget that if you pray for me I'll pray for you and cash flow too, why not?
