there's nothing to look forward to

"yeah, you're a fucking gangsta if you treat women like objects
you're at the top when you have a stupid amount of money"
and just like that,
they enslaved the youth

chasing after something that is unattainable,
and even if it weren't,
not fulfilling

so sneak that 60 inch screen cause you can
rub yourself against other shells of people
sleep with thirty different women because you can

pretend you're happy,
live empty and
die alone


"ONCE AGAIN, many greedy people appear
No different from silkworms wrapped in cocoons.
Wealth and riches are all they love,
Never giving their minds or bodies a moment's rest.
Every year their natures deteriorate
While their vanity increases.
One morning death comes before
They can use even half their money.
Others happily receive the estate,
And the deceased's name is soon lost in darkness.
For such people there can only be great pity."

    1. I don't think money can help a person become 'who they really are'. If a person needs money to do so then that's not really who they are, because money is a human invention and shouldn't have anything to do with the way a person is.
