Would I Rather Be Rich Or Poor?

Would I Rather Be Rich Or Poor?

A Poem by Onlyme

Would I,  rather be Rich or Poor?

Truthfully,  I would rather be poor
As money to me is far from everything!
As I am not into fancy cars or out to
impress anyone, least of all myself!

Let alone wanting to have a fancy mansion in the hills.
With extremely posh furniture and elaborate
electric gadgets all over those rooms.
Or eating very expensive exotic foods.
Let alone going on my next outlandish vacation abroad
Wearing Chanel, Burberry, Prada would become
a complete bore
and having my face, plastered with makeup by
the likes of  Mary Kay, L'Oreal Paris to name but a
few.
And red nailed expensive talons. Done by
some slave to appease me.
No thanks.

I would rather just be humble. And live like the average person on the street
.
And in my neighbour hood
And just have enough money to pay my rent
and feed myself daily.
And cover my bills.
Bar that iam satified
and lucky to be alive.

As to me my health
my state of mind
my spirit, my soul
me more to me
Than anything.

Not money!

As to be honest.
I would still have
many
riches more than
some
others.
in this world.
Who literally
have nothing
at all!
and i do mean
nothing, no food,
no bed, no shelter!
no self respect
or self worth
left at all.
