Because Money Isn't Everything


Living the dream was not a concept
It was his lifestyle
Two Ferraris and a Harley
Scotch with caviar
A bungalow in the Bahamas
And a wonderful butler
Everyone who was someone
Was on his iPhone
They called him invulnerable
But nobody looked at his life
Parents killed by a maniac
With rotting yellow teeth
Growing up alone
Lonely
No one realized how alone he was
Hitting the gym to keep aggression at bay
Slowly drinking his sorrow away
And one day, inevitably
The wolves came
And wrote about the billionaire
Found dead in his bath tub
And we put on those lying sunglasses
And were judgemental gossips
Until such time that he became a dusty newspaper
Covering a homeless man
Sleeping on a park bench

The Bilge Master
