A Few Things I Don’t Know
Millions have come and gone away
none has ever come back till this day
then why amass wealth
and leave it all, who for
can the wisest one really say
Yes
You will be remembered by those
who enjoy the wealth you left behind
but how will you ever know
since while living foolish you were also
O the wisest one you alone have a brain
Come over we will catch the next train
and roam about till the wealth does sustain
kick me off, far off. when nothing does remain

Such a thoughtful comment
and coming from a great songster
elates me like a balloon
many tried to deflate soon
thank you for the kindness
of time spent on

Hi Lovedly
I believe this is one of your more serious writes which is substantive and has the potential to tidy it up...will watch what edits you do going forward...i found the concluding line jarring...

why did you find it jarring
that's the finality of all existence
when one's pockets are empty finally
one is done
do advise I am always open

because I consider wealth as
because I consider wealth as not just material / money but it is much more than that
