I met a man

I met a man

I met a man

I met a man with five million dollars who asked me did he have enough
I met a man with one million dollars who felt he had too much
I met a man with a hundred dollars who grinned and told me he was rich

I met a man who built an empire and yelled and screamed at people
I met a man who worked seven days a week and didn’t see his family
I met a man who was homeless who greeted passers by

I met a man who lived in a mansion who was unhappy
I met a man with a mortgage who was sad
I met a man who slept under a bridge who smiled all day

Hey KEVIN!!...... this is such a clever write...... and formatted perfectly for a maximum effect!!..... True thankfulness comes from a place when and where one affords oneself the opportunity to be unclouded, unjaded, and most importantly..... in touch with one's spiritual self...... unencumbered by the weight of materialism and its fringe!!.......ALL STARS!!....... well done dear poet brother!!..... LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo ?âś´
Ps. Love the image you chose for this! ?
