Rich Man of Yesterday

So I was deeply inspired to write this short piece from one of the superb articles, yet to be published, by an esteemed contributor to my newsletter - eikõn, owned by my firm.

This is an admonishment from my musings - 89th Constellation.

O'lowo Anaa (Rich Man of Yesterday)

Rich man of tomorrow, open your ears that thou mayest see different levels of wealth.
Rich man of tomorrow, be meek in elevation, that thou mayest reach in your life uncommon greatness.
Sudden was the end of a man who by himself declared arrival the moment he could afford himself a little luxury.

Howbeit you rich fool, you forgot so easily how you climbed onto years of faith, hardworks and charity - sound the gong - the epiphany.
To eat hot food don't you remember how you must eat at a pace lest be burned and numbed of taste thy tongue?

Rich man of tomorrow, success knows no final destination how much more a self declaration of a crystallized state;
A little heat and you melt, same with your riches and you evaporate...
not even to return to your lowly old state, because you glittered-all-gold without substance.
Rich man of tomorrow, take heed lest this be your measure, never forget indeed your days of humble beginnings.

Take heed Rich man of tomorrow, lest the rich and even the poor by fate together accuse you of a poverty-stricken mentality... glamorised mockingly, the 'Rich Man of Yesterday'.
