Here is a link to a song I worked on yesterday from lyrics derived from my poem with the same name from 2020. I'm having fun with this, though frustrated at Suno not cooperating in cloning my voice yet. (Voice and music generated based on my prompts and many iterations at Suno).

True Wealth
[Verse 1]
Government can take your money,
Thugs can take it, and your life,
There’s only one thing you own, friend,
That’s impervious to strife.
[Verse 2]
Governments can’t confiscate it,
You can use it, share it freely,
And you’ll never use it up,
Pays tax-free dividends for life.
[Chorus]
Only your honor’s worth more,
Can’t buy it in any store.
Your greatest legacy, true,
Unlike this wealth, can lose it too.
[Verse 3]
War can’t dilute its value,
Thrives in markets, bull and bear,
All this is the truth, I swear,
It’s even recession proof!
[Verse 4]
Not stocks, bonds, or precious gold,
Nor currency of any kind,
It is owned by young and old,
Princes, paupers of sound mind.
[Chorus]
Only your honor’s worth more,
Can’t buy it in any store.
Your greatest legacy, true,
Unlike this wealth, can lose it too.
[Bridge]
Verse 5]
The more you have, the more it grows,
Whether you get it for free,
Or buy it for a high fee,
Its value is just the same.
[Verse 6]
It’s the only one true wealth,
To which wise humans aspire,
It can be used and improved,
And shared widely once acquired.
[Chorus]
Only your honor’s worth more,
Can’t buy it in any store.
Your greatest legacy, true,
Unlike this wealth, can lose it too.
[Outr ]
The wealth is knowledge, as you may have thought,
The only coin with which wisdom is bought.
