Can I say that,
Wealth is not about riches
But about survival in peacehood?
Yes I can say that,
Riches without knowing
Gods and His ways is not wealth,

Can I say that,
The wise keeps wealth
But the fool seeks riches?
Yes I can say that,
A poor generous man is wealthy,
But a wicked rich man is more
Miserable than the word destitute,

Can I say that,
Wealth is more about survival
But less about progress?
Yes I can say that,
The Gods of riches is no different
From the Gods of poverty,
Whichever way it comes, fight it,

Can I say that,
Both the rich and the poor
Know no peace, except the wealthy?
Yes I can say that,
Both riches and poverty
Are the betrayal of self
And sense of judgment,  

Can I say that,
Life can go on without riches,
But it is no better with poverty?
Yes I can say that,
Being so careful about riches
Is being so liberal about investment,

Can I say that,
Some seek riches,
Others seek wealth?
Yes I can say that,
Some men love riches
More than their own souls,
But their souls enjoy
The riches and not them,

Can I say that,
It is foolish for one to see
Riches as the salvation for ones soul?
Yes I can say that,
Wealth is the creation, protection
And advancement of time,
Opportunity, discipline and energy,

Can I say that,
Wealth not worked for
Is a stolen riches?
Yes I can say that,
Wealth is the endurance of
Both long suffering
And short suffering.
