Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless.
As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them?
The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
permits them no sleep.
I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:
wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when they have children
there is nothing left for them to inherit.
Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.

~Ecclesiastes 5:10-15 (NIV)


Idle for a long time, hiding in shame

Fine Spirit retreat from ungraceful deed

Hungry for fame and selfish desire

In this chaotic world who’s to blame?


Resign yourself from foolishness

Don’t be shallow my prairie mallow

I wish you enough, just enough

Earn a decent living and be pleased.


There’s more to life than dappling leaves

Be grateful with your lots and be wise

The spontaneous craving is but a feeling

Reeling indiscreetly so unappealing.


Don’t be reckless and be depressed

Believe you can and bounce back with cheers

Abundance will follow blessings will come

You don’t need those weeds to meet your needs.


Live in the big blue skies of love not fear

Be honest, be real, be true, be you

Be strong with your convictions

Life is good after all, be it high-flown or not.


Stop the arrogance, humble your heart

Begin again, be born again, be joyful again

See the beauty of life, don't be pompous

Rise from a low life and live a more meaningful life.
