The Rich List
How much time do we have?
How much time do we need?
Can we be freed from the tyranny
Of the clock and stop
When the world says go
I don’t know
For we all have to earn
But what if we spurn the
Love of those we love
And miss our children growing up
All for a spot on a
List that is not the richest
People in the world for
The richest people I know
Live simply and walk justly
Forgive freely and offer you grace
And a space where you feel
Like the most important person they know
They help you grow
And hold everything so lightly
Because they have let go
Of all they once had
And in doing so
Have found freedom
Thoughts
We will never hear of some of the greatest musicians in the world due to the way music is sold and promoted.
