To sit on a pile of cash, or bond with someone dear,
Some aspire to be on the top 10 lists, others leaving no legacy fear.
Some are drawn to how they can drive others, others driven by personal growth,
Some want to attract and be beautiful, though they may get burned in the process like a moth.
Fame, power, wealth are the anchors, that keep many a people afloat,
That love and service could be a lifeline, they don't know- they never sailed that boat.
All their life spent to earn enough, so they can pay a higher bill,
It costs them health and peace of mind, and increases their chance of being ill.
You become what you aspire for, you become what you behave,
When goals are not steeped in your soul, even after achieving you crave.
When you are driven by care for others, and want to serve and deepen ties,
You are happy and more satisfied, you can overthrow materialist lies.
On the death bed you never regret, how you could have earned even more,
Only that you could have loved and lived well, and left this world better than before.
