Poor Man Rich Man

Is the poor man's sorrow avenged after death
as they will say every man is equal under the ground
or is it that the worms prefer the richness
as in the rich soil and rich clothing and rich cotton
that leaves the poor man untouched and unloved
and that the soil of the rich will be rich like them
and the poor mans grave will be sandy and not hold its water
and wash away some time alone and cold and clotheseless

Maybe richness is in attitude and humour
and the dying of the old and know weeps of pain
and a loving family humongous if not great
maybe poor men hate to live poor but relinquish loves law
and attitudes circle around desuetude and low down blues
but if rich men really are rich maybe it is only in material things
but maybe the poor man's richness is in quite time thinking
which makes philosopher's and writers out of us all

Is the rich man as equal as the poor after death
with roses and nice flowers sitting by the grave
and the maintenance to keep it spic and span
but is this there right or is it only love out of money
the trustee and the inheritance will shortly make his memory rich
but what about the pauper who smoked and drank and sang a song
a charcter as they say instead of someone sterile who commanded attention,
by money and authority instead of cool calm and with love

Maybe poorness is only what we see from the outside
and if we read the whole book we be rather surprised
at the being and living inside this dead mans soul
eventually we will all be forgotten only time counts how long until
and if we count the days we lived we would be surprised we were busy being dead
instead of living a life full of wealth in attitude and humour
lucky we have the mind to fill with love and story's
to pass on to the younger which will make the world all the more richer
without the cars and houses we all so desire

Is the poor man's sorrow avenged after death
in this case i think it was with all the story's
and the want for nothing more than he already had
shame we have to live with people greedy for more greed which builds and multiplies green
the poor man was avenged from pure thinking and wisdom he gained
but wisdom is only gained through mistakes of weather they were mistakes or wrong choices
the rich man will die poor because there's know were,
to spend money on the dark side of the moon the blackness death creates
the place were all creatures go money or know money wisdom or know wisdom
