FREDRICKFRED

Billionaire
There will come a time
When you will
Keep quiet about
Being a billionaire
Why would a human being
Want to sit in a room
Surrounded by shiny stones
Piles of gold
And paper currency
There will come a time
When to become
A billionaire
Will be a shameful thing
For me
That time has come
In brackets, P.S.
On your bed waiting for
Death
Will your last breath be
What am I worth?
Nothing
Because your time on earth
You could have built
Universities
Hospitals
Filled empty bowls
With rice
Medicines and vaccines
Could have been supplied
While a crying mother
Held malnutritioned
Dying child
You could have said
It's going to be alright
Help has arrived
I am no one to cast
The first stone
It's not my place
To name names
But one day to be a
Billionaire
Will be a thing of shame
For me
That day has come.
