Fancy clothes, expensive cars
Big diamonds, fine cigars
Money beyond compare
So many riches everywhere
Perfect family, amazing friends
The blessings never seem to end
But despite having it all
You could easily fall
Money can't buy
Happiness
That would
Be ridiculous
Money makes
People miserable
Makes you feel
Too powerful
It can make you
An addict
*******
Diet pills
Alcohol
Prescription
Substance abuse
It can cause
Early deaths
Money, fame
You could have
The full works
But it wouldn't
Make a difference
You'd still be
The fragile shell
Filling yourself
With material things
Silicone, toxins
Baby, take your
Medicines
Take care of
Your life
Before it
Becomes
A ****** case
In paradise
A bullet through
Your skull and brain
Because you had
What everyone
Wanted to gain.

Not sure why I wrote this.
I guess I was highly inspired,
by the tragic consequences and problems,
of sometimes having too much of a good thing.
