Lavish Things Sometimes Misery Brings


                                             
                   Extravagant purchases 
                                           Trying to drown a sorrow
                                            That always resurfaces

So much and so many
Shiny, flashy things
A glutton in the land of plenty
Doesn't see the envy it brings
When friends are shown excesses
Upon stopping by for a visit
And those few it impresses
Gaze with thoughts illicit

                           Everyone admires
                           A man who builds himself a life
                           Provides all his family requires
                           Takes care of his children and his wife
                           
He is one who understands
What he owns does not own him
He's earned his leisure with his own two hands

                                                 But that man
                                                 Who measures his worth
                                                 In material goods
                                                 Will never know the joy
                                                 Of having
                                                 Genuine friends
                                                 He will always feel less than
                                                                                      The lowest lowly on Earth
                                                 Confused about methods
                                                 That don't require a ploy
                                                 Or conniving
                                                 That never ends

                                                 He will only know abscence
