What D’you Got?

What’s it mean to be poor,
When you’ve cash in the bank,
Lots of people who care about your health,
A sailboat that ain’t sank,

Old relatives with money to leave you,
Great hair and a great job,
Culture and knowledge we’ll above the norm,
More good will than anybody could rob,

Opportunities out of the wazoo,
Health that goes for miles,
Social safety nets in case all else fails,
With a rock solid file,
with lots to lose?
D’ya recall the question?
Or’s your brain so trained to pity yourself,
You couldn’t hear o’er your lamentation?
