All the beautiful mansions
with ugly resident
I sort of care less for those who
use their money so careless
But I'm still a little jealous, envious
of how I believe I could do any better/

Grasshopper antics; devouring the land's
crop of provisions
Treason so close to betraying a brother for
his treasure β€”none is as precious as the black jewel
eye seeing another, and feeling envious

Wicked is he
a prideful man; mannered in the fashion
of a fraction of being rational
Factionalism, spilt in between the opinions
of having a poor attitude so rich
Or richly deserved of your worth in poor circumstances

...common denominator
always determined by a pocket
Costing less to be costed by what
we judge as wins, and whichever we choose to
remember as one's losses

But it's a worn out subject, of how we still
determine one's success by sizeable pockets
