When a man has riches immense
And has not himself enjoyed
He has very little common sense
For he is considered expired.
***********************
Pleasure is got by wealth
But if one is a miser
His wealth is taken by stealth
By an uncanny robber.
***********************
One is a burden to Earth
If he is stingy and mingy
All is acquired wealth
Is sure an inanity.
***********************
Wealth without benefaction
In degree is a triviality
When there is no interaction
With people of poverty.
***********************
The wealthy man who will not bestow
To the needy is a sinister
If his money doesn't flow
It is akin to a beauteous spinster.
*************************
When a man wallowing in luxury
Is meanly parsimonious
He is disliked by men in penury
And is considered inglorious.
**************************
When money is the most important core of man's life... the master and purpose are absolutely about themselves and their unsatisfied hunger of greed. Wealth is could be the best tool to serve humanity or to die in selfishness.

Such lofty thoughts on the triviality of hoarding wealth worth pondering! If each one could realize, Money is meant for serving man and not otherwise! !
