The Wealth of Erudition

As one navigates the whirlwinds of life

Searching for glory, while mitigating internal strife

The distinguished value of material wealth

Plagues the mind and any proper value within oneself

The false perception of riches and their relation to meaningful existence

Causes many to follow a defective path - unnecessary persistence

Though a lucky few soon realize

Pursuit of wisdom and knowledge outweighs money by a significant distance

Wisdom and and philosophy guide the mind perpetually

While riches are only temporary

Knowledge and understanding are the greatest measures of strength

While all material simply runs out... eventually

I therefore invite everyone to consider this message

Regardless of the current journey in which you may be invested

To envision the meaning of your life

And allow for your perception to be tested
