wealth is seen to many
As the riches they may earn
My wealth exceeds a filthy penny
Or cash that's left to burn
Its found inside this cavity
Behind these layered bones
No cold dimes clinking gravity
Less morgage debt or loans
This pulsing rust outwits the crispest
Hundred dollar bill
Its heat engenders swiftness
the deepest wallet it may fill
My wealth can buy all sorts of things
A friendship, trust, or love
The mint below on pedestal rings
My heart will dance above
