Every living being,

Knows the existence of money

But do we have financial knowledge?

 

The power behind earning, spending

Saving and investing

You and I would have dignity

The dignity within that power

The power of financial knowledge

 

But we only have the ignorance freedom

Of our talking mind

“Overspend”, that’s how our thoughts bind

Money is a world language

Under a symbol of social comparison

Under a symbol of power

 

Money is a symbolic language

But thumbs down to our talking minds

Our minds which whisper “overspend”

Over our ears and even paint our tongues

To further ignore the power behind

The power behind financial knowledge

Earning, spending, saving and investing

 

But what to say; people still use their words

To shun the savings and investment part

Yeah, we have two eyes without a pupil

A pupil that could resize

To let light about financial knowledge

Into our vision

But it seems like ignorance is our mission

 

​Or maybe we have two eyes without an iris

Because as to how will we

Be able to visualize financial knowledge

Without controlling our pupil

To absorb the light

The light through which we might

Yes, we might see the power behind

The power behind financial knowledge

 

Our ears could also be the canal to storage

What will be the use of knowledge

Without storage?

I mean storage in the neocortex

Yes, mental storage

 

​Nevertheless;

Some have both pupils

And good is thumbs up

To those with financial vision and mission

Those who strive to be cash rich

To overflow like the waves at beach

To be bounty and affluent

All they do is work,earn and invest

Because for them

The effort is to always

Make the symbol obvious

 

​But still,

For us the financially impaired

The financially blind

No,actually for those of us

 

Who choose financial indiscipline;

For us black is the ace of spades

Yes,the kind of spades which reads,

“LESS THAN TWO IS FEEBLE EFFORT”

 

We are visually impaired and inferior

To the power of financial knowledge

That even our feeble attempt

Will bear no fruits

For as long as we do not understand

That financial knowledge is power
