My mind is so healthy But my soul is so sick The goal to be wealthy Has made my life too quick In the blink of an eye It could all be gone Now, as much as I try Still, at every dawn I find myself facing Another day This world is chasing Another way What this is I do not know What this is I can only hope Will let my self and soul Be at peace as one I know Love is the goal Let the deed be done Let us work for the sake Of our worldly duty Not again will they take Away worldly beauty Money is The gift and the curse Things are bad But they could be worse Soon, all will have A good life chance Money is money Snap out of the trance Our souls are sick Of stress over income They’ve lost so much It’s time that they win some © D.A.

~ The Sick Soul ~
My mind is so healthy But my soul is so sick The goal to be wealthy Has made my life too quick In the blink of an eye It could all be gone Now, as much as I try Still, at every dawn I find myself facing Another day This world is chasing Another way What this is I do not know What this is I can only hope Will let my self and soul Be at peace as one I know Love is the goal Let the deed be done Let us work for the sake Of our worldly duty Not again will they take Away worldly beauty Money is The gift and the curse Things are bad But they could be worse Soon, all will have A good life chance Money is money Snap out of the trance Our souls are sick Of stress over income They’ve lost so much It’s time that they win some © D.A.

I read an interesting theory by philosopher William James which states that the world is split into two groups of people, the "Healthy Minded" and the "Sick Souls". That inspired this piece.
