If I were wealthy
could I then buy wisdom?
surely I could buy the words
pay and have someone say it
and would I then convince
myself that it is the same thing?
or would it matter to me?
some say appearence is everything
yet to me it is virtually nothing
so I wonder if I had a grip
would I then be more wealthy
than truth?
above such things
would I be stronger than reality?
have more pull?
could money make me more
resourceful than nature?
though we all need money in
this world...
would money be my god?
this tool to turn
the visage of evil into good
I mean I could pay souls to say
that night was in fact day
I hear that some even pay
to construct expensive
places to hide from death
but when death comes
none of it could I take with me
and then where would I be?
