A Wealthy Death

wealth is a mistress that
can never be satisfied
without compromise and
conflict with one's ability
to rationalize outcomes;
her tantalizing body
performs like a narcotic
on the soul and moves in ways
only cirque du soleil knows;
she harbors no contempt
nor does she offer love, but
she expects obedience,
otherwise, all is lost,
including one's family;
escape comes with death
that wealth cannot prevent
and moments before the end
one always wonders why...
I was the one chosen?
