If To Be Rich

If to be rich is to have so much,
So that you can give it to those who need,
If richness is a virtue for which there is no better option,
Then I who at first thought otherwise would want to be.
If being rich waters the mind,
so it becomes wealthy of idea and good intent,
Then, i want to be rich.

If being rich would drain the mind of negative desire,
And rob my mind of the devils plan,
T'would be my desire to give richness a safe abode,
So that within and without,
I would have nothing but a rich state.
But that is only IF being rich meant all these things,
And none that goes against these things.
