The rich man sits, in his mansion tall,

With wealth and comfort, at his beck and call,

But what of the burden, that wealth can bring,

The pressure to succeed, and the endless sting.

For the rich man lives, in a world of doubt,

With expectations high, and questions devout,

The pressure to maintain, his lavish life,

A constant struggle, with no end in sight.

The rich man longs, for a simple life,

A chance to escape, the stress and strife,

But the weight of his wealth, is always near,

A constant reminder, of the life he holds dear.

So let us not judge, the rich man's plight,

For the burden of wealth, is a heavy light,

And let us remember, that wealth can bring,

Both joy and challenges, with everything.
