The 'Needy' Are The Rich

The 'needy' of the world are not the Poor,
The 'needy' are the ones who are the Rich,
Their need of wealth is how they feel secure,
Without it they are headed for the ditch.
The Poor make use of everything they have,
The Rich just squander, waste and look for more,
They bathe in wealth as if it were a salve,
Without it they are poor just like before.
The Wealthy are no more than empty shells,
Dependant on the things that they can buy,
They need the many trinkets with their spells,
Without them they are lost and want to die.
The Wealthy are the ones who are the 'poor',
Without their wealth they really are unsure.
