Riches The Hard Way

Thirty steps to riches
Twenty nine just wont do
But snares and their hitches
Make finding it of few

The first five of these steps
Are small to begin with
There will be no hand claps
But your back will be stiff

The second five of these
will be just like the first
If you take note you'll freeze
With tears coming in burst

The third step is beyond
Where habit takes it's root
sightings were gold comes from
With it's panic to boot

That fourth step's a knock out
Easy come easy go
No discipline about
Will condemn what you know

Oh for that final five
Freedom atlas in hand
The meaning of alive
A route to understand

This hard way to riches
Slippery sloop for sure
Starts with patchy britches
Till golden is the door
