Don't blame me for your problems,  
O foolish one!   
An attitude of that nature  
Will leave you with what choices?  
 
When passion does not direct you  
Fear will.  
  
More money is no solution to your problems  
The understanding that  
The poor work for money   
The rich have money work for them  
 
For being broke is temporary  
Being poor is eternal.
