The Richest Man Alive
What makes this man happy?
He has nothing
He lives nowhere
He is nobody
He expects nothing
Because he paid nothing
And this man knows
Everything has its' price
He's not willing to pay the price
That we all do from day to day
But he's the richest of all
In currency we aren't familiar with
He lives nowhere
Because that somewhere
Is dictated by matters
Out of our hands
He's not willing to dwell in places
That are not his doing
But his palace surpases ours
In ways we cannot comprehend
He is nobody
Because we are not aware of him
And he knows it must change
So he can wake us up
He's the enzyme of our evolution
And this is what he's been saving for
His whole life, the gift that surpasses himself
But in essence is himself
His final payment reduced
To more tangible currency
From his only payment
Materialized to his only testament:
Make the best with what you have
But realize it's not the best
