Fast Riches

Fast Riches

Sitting alone in a crowd

Wrapped up in your own

Private sphere filled with greed

Willing the right

Card/number/symbol

To appear in the right spot

So that you can strike it rich

And get your chance

To be one of the

Beautiful People

Powerful People

Rich People

But it isn’t enough

To sustain that

Type of lifestyle

And you’ll blow it

You know it

Wasting the security that

The sudden influx of money offers

All for appearances

A dangerous, expensive illusion

For people who don’t even matter…

But hell, you only live once, right?

You can’t take it with you.

So break it

And leave nothing

For that rainy day
