Rich yet poor
The man thinks he rich
But he’s poor
His eyes are keen and they twitch
When he sees money
He needs to unlock a door
To wealth
He’s under the illusion it will better his health
Even though he’s hands are full of jewels, money, riches and gold
He uses the same hands to put up more
It makes his hands cold
Like his heart
He doesn’t realize that when hands are full and tries to pick up more riches, jewels and gold that he’s losing more that he thinks he’s get
But that not even the shocking part
All bright and radiant as the gold and jewels are
Inside of him is eternally black darkness
The darkness consumes him close and far
Within himself
He doesn’t even know himself
