Spending Words

What We Say, What You Do

By Q-ell BettonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

It is generally the rich who say about money

It’s not the way to a land of milk and honey

It’s what you enjoy, no matter how crappy

Is going to be the thing to makes you happy

They say don’t chase the cash or the show

They’re already loaded, so they should know

To pursue finance, will just make you sad

Pursue your life’s passion, no matter how bad

Because surely it is better to be rich of soul

Than to be caught in avarice, greed and gold

The money doesn’t matter, so listen to me

I’m helping you to avoid a life of misery

Misery you say? The money’s such a pain

Still, you invest it, seeking capital gains

If what you say is true, it’s such a burden

Why do you look for every tiny tax haven?

Money doesn’t equal happiness, you say

Yet your actions say otherwise every single day
