~ The Curse of Riches… ~ 
☆
In wealth’s grand palace, with comforts abound,
A restless heart still wanders, lost and unfound
*
Like bedbugs in the sheets, as our deepest fears,
Bite through the night, as worst horror appears
*
As we gather riches, and keep adorning our nest,
Yet the inner demons still refuse to peacefully rest.
*
Whispers of our soul, reverberate as troubled sea,
Reflect the turmoil and pain that we cannot flee.
*
True peace, a fleeting dream, we chase in vain
Until we face the shadows that we have gained.
*
The bedbugs of our mind, cause a festering sore
They must be confronted, and cast out, evermore.
*
In the self-reflection’s true mirror, we must gaze,
And confront the darkness that we must erase
*
So let us embark on this soulful inward quest
To calm the storms,and relax in our peaceful nest
