Because You Have No Money

When you carry an empty purse
It becomes too heavy;
A fuller one would be preferable,
By far the lighter!

The weight is in your heart,
Burdensome worry;
There is a passioned heaving
That betrays insecurity.

Because you have no money
You cannot think straight,
Artists make first impressions
With the paper of your face.

Unskilled etchers
In your heart are responsible
For the bad pictorial outcome:
Sadness, insecurity and grief.
