The ways in and out of poverty
is a strange gamble
for more is lost at the table
than is ever won,
for lottery, business or inheritance,
the money soon enough
returns to the hand of distribution
in taxes and time
to play another game of creation.
There is no country
which needs investments
for they can make it
themselves.
Many have said they are this or that
but their actions differ
from the reality of their beliefs.
It's only to observe it
as riches create more issues
than it ever solves
for others clamour and claw for it.
an' trust-issues of
what they didn't make or preserve.
As temples are built
over centuries and culture
is developed, is it lost
in a single one.
For all things happen in sequences
and valueables attract
the wrong type of friends and contacts
for the continuation of it,
and the higher you fly, the less air
there is to breathe,
As earthquakes the pebbles strike
when it lands
It wasn't built to withstand any of it :
Short term profits
are short-lived, scraping
through the ruins for
spare-parts.
