Multi-millionaire
freespirit30 1967 (Carthage)
Wouldn't it be nice to have millions of dollars?
What we could do with that kind of money?
Would you pay off your entire debt?
Pay for your child to go to college?
Buy the house of you've always dreamed of,
You could buy all the things needed to make you happy.
Keep in mind though that money isn't happiness,
Family is more important they must come first.
Than money can make you happy to an extent.
When money takes control of your life,
You live to make it, more and more.
Maybe take another's money away from them,
So you can stay out of debt yourself.
Not caring about the people you take it from,
Not caring about going to jail because you stole from someone.
Even if it is from your own family,
Even you're own kid, brother, or sister-in-law.
Now you have a problem,
It is called Greed.
Going to jail is just the start of fixing the problem,
But, therapy will be better for you and the taxpayers.
You should not be allowed to work at a bank where,
You will be around money all the time.
You should be fired from this bank job immediately,
So you can cause no more harm to anyone.
You are being watched so be careful,
Keep looking over your shoulder.
You will be caught so stop while your behind.
Dedicated to:
D.T.
