I Love This Poem

Getting rich quick seems to be the latest craze

Among the young who are in the chase

To accumulate wealth in great haste

With the obsession to win the rat race

Share options, direct selling, whatever your taste

Instant experts will guide you through the maze

And help you achieve great wealth at a heady pace

Of course each one thinks he is the true ace

Before we all become to hazed

By the stories they tell to amaze

About the millionaire who lives in exclusive place

Driving the S Class Mercedes with a beaming face

Don’t forget those who invested in the wrong place

Through greed and reckless purchase

They lost everything in great disgrace

With regret that their trust was misplaced

True wealth is building a foundation phase by phase

Having genuine products that are highly praised

Constantly serving others better in every case

Building good character as your showcase

Adopting constant improvement as the catchphrase

True wealth is noble values we embrace

The joy of others that we help raise

And extending kindness as our true grace
