Financially Fearful
A Poem On Financial Lack
The love of money has been dubbed the "root of all evil"
Christ said in his word, that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of Heaven."
People are the most persistent and precise, regarding any means of "chasing the bag"
While most insist on keeping barriers up against all people
For who cares about the homeless who're destitute & without, right?
Not enough of the elite seem to be interested in the fight against a poverty-stricken, America
So many of us have invested our time in order to earn a dollar, that appears eager to leave our hands
And here is where I stand
//
Hours stacked upon hours, I push to create avenues
While all choose to seek whatever value the dollar has left
Many of us are kept at bay, while the economically secure trace every dollar they want
Leaving the poor and middle class fighting
For whatever income that can be gained
Disgrace tries to capture a hold on my face
As if I am just not trying to look hard enough
For the right job or opportunity to come love on my resume
So that my bank account won't ever again become naked
//
Provision for my future is that which I seek
Greed has no hold upon me; I care nothing about luxury brands, or superficial things
I simply desire to be able to spoil my Queen whenever I see fit
And gift her with a man able to lift her from her labors
With divine favor, I will retire her
She inspires the gentleman within me, and the dragon who wishes to constantly feast
Upon every vision I've ever had, and every dream I've ever seen in this mind
I paid the cost to be the boss...literally
So I will move to have a fiscal abundance that will fund my future to greatness
I care not for the chase that most people adore
I just need more
To build
To provide
For her
