I’ve no money but I have wealth. <br />What constitutes well-being, health? <br />If riches rule this barren land, <br />The wealth of power in their hand <br />Then I beg of you, please let me rule <br />For their wealth is the wealth of fools! <br />Silver bars and ingots gold <br />Along with power makes hearts cold <br />Though sturdy hearts may rule supreme <br />These puppet lords live but their dream. <br />Give me logic, common sense <br />Not hollow words of false pretence <br />They contradict their every speech <br />They’re out of touch, we’re out of reach <br />For love and brains don’t come from gold <br />Their mis-spent youth, this country, sold.<br /><br />PAUL COLVIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wealth-v-wealth/
