Life-fearing man selects material-wise,
Rejects or knows not wisdom-
Ever more self and envious eyes
Are accompanying compensation.
Blindness and enmity
Conclude life's sensation.
He could have jumped off
When he reached the top
Or eased his descent with a pension,
Kept at bay the above-mentioned tension,
No wiser than he ever had been
But proud he'd picked pocketting green.
I knew the green was for money even before I rea the note (no pun intended, rare I know) . A good piece to consider lifes choices, wise or wilful.
