Obtained Wealth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Obtained wealth can not stop or erase,
Incompetence to someday become from someone...
Revealed for what it is.
Exposing their extreme lack of knowledge.
Since many living without wants or needs,
Have been most likely surrounded by those hired...
Providing them what is taken for granted.

Going to college, academies, private schools...
Or exclusive universities,
Does not guaranteed this exposure automatically...
Dispenses to award common sense achieved.
Especially,
To anyone unfamiliar with its definition.
Or feels obligated to investigate its meaning.
With it practiced to enact.

If never to have had the privilege,
To discover for themselves...
What in life to be kept prioritized,
Common sense needed and nothing else...
Shocks many wealthy to discover eventually,
Trusting in it to depend upon...
Can have more value than an owned yacht docked.
