Distress And Wealth

Rating: 5.0


Wealth and distress-
Interlinked.
It is well said-
Wealth is a perpetual
Source of distress.
Well said- wealth is
Virtual death for the soul.

No gain,
No satisfaction
From wealth, true.
No happiness also
From wife, home, children,
Relatives, domestic animals.
To maintain all above,
Wealth is needed.

Imagine not wife, life
Without wealth.
And life, some think,
Illusory basis of
Sexual attraction.
And life make material
Endeavors to eliminate
Unhappiness and
Increase pleasure.

Life-
Full of distress.
A family is a place-
Happiness inevitably
Vanishes there.
The more one grow older,
Material discomfort increases.
Everywhere fear, enviousness,
Constant harassment and
No actual happiness
Here in life.

But worry not, dear men,
Be wise, use your wealth
For all good.
Enjoy life
With sacrifice
To get peace.

Go not with rat race,
Dear men, but see,
You are the wonder,
You are the nectar.
You are here
Not to acquire
But to admire others.
Men, be an admirer.
