Usual suspects
Line the table and gather
Around traditions

Passed down for generations
Always served and made with love

Over 500k

Along the walls of on-ramps and exits
I tend to feel a little less self-depressive
Realizing I’m free from the oppression
That’s effecting homeless intersections

Eyes wide every time like it’s a surprise
To see living conditions of the deprived
Then I can’t help but ask myself why
The sheer numbers continue to rise

How many hard knocks does it take
Until a human being begins to fade
In the background of the mundane
Working and shopping just the same

Hidden at the foot of our skyscrapers
Our dirty secrets hold birthright papers
Covered in filth, blanketed in newspapers
Taking up residence near ungodly vapors

Next time you find yourself downtown
Have yourself a good look around
Acknowledge what’s utterly profound…
Skewed by political hubbub that surrounds

Diversification

Take every stock
Of emotion to the bank
Then cash out every now & again
On the Capital Gains

Don’t go buying
Every good NASDAQ find
They’re mostly trending, full of lies
Realized in blink of an eye

LIFE may be full
Of its shares of ups and downs
Have faith, payoff’s sure to astound

As long as you stay fully invested
In this long-term investment
Tried and truly, attested
