Meandering Thoughts. Money and Ego

Fighting Egos wrapped in Financial Success
while I fight to hold on to Integrity

and Broke.

Sometimes my Soul feels Empty
while Im surrounded by the best
people I find, and I Know, and
Love.

Many of them Struggle too,
and perhaps All of them,

but some struggles never seem to End,

Money

That's a Constant Struggle
in Our house.

and hearing Good Guys always finish Last
Never helps

and it's Not True.
Not All the time.

Some of us taste superficial Freedom,
that comes by way of money and job security,
long hours working,
partying.

(when you work for it you deserve it)

Then Life throws a mound of Shit Your way,
instead of stepping out of the way
you walk Right Into it.

Then, those motherfuckers who held onto financial,
superficial Success through Treachery and Deceit-

I look up to them for a second.

Then I realize, They're Not surrounded by the Best
people they know, that love Them.

That's Wealth.
