Balance


By the masses, acquiring currency  is considered wealth.

Others consider it simply living in good health.

Though how does one build a balance?

It is miniscule  to think of it as simply making healthy  decisions  

And creating an allowance.

The one percent  most likely  has its own one percent.

A one percent that does not vent about how the ends are met.

You can do your research  and place your bet,

However  in comparison  to them you are in debt.

Debt of all forms of health  and wealth.

This is due to your mind being sabotaged by the head-aching  thought

Of how the one percent's life is built.

Now just know one thing; if you are not one of them,

All of your pleasures cast shadows of guilt.
