Money

How much money do you earn?
Most people are guarded about money,
It’s a very private thing,
Other people brag about their pay packet
As if to say “I’m better than you because
I get paid more than you!”
They may get more money than you but they
Probably have to give more of themselves for it,
More money often means more stress,
Too much stress means you’ve got a problem,
But still they keep asking how much money you earn,
These people piss me off,
There is no link between wealth and decency,
There is no link between having a lot of money and
being a good person,
Quite the opposite,
People who flaunt money tend to be smug arseholes,
You acquire money by circumstance more than you do
By intelligence.

****
You want more money,
Why?
We are conditioned to make money our god,
But greed is ugly,
Greed is weak,
Pathetic rats crawling over each other,
Misers and workaholics fill the grave yards,
Real happiness has no price tag.
