To merely garner riches in a vault
Is, to me, a harmful social fault.
Without intent to benefit a community,
Trying to just be rich is theft without impunity.

By contrast, you should try to lead,
Not to grasp the work others. That is greed.
To lead, you teach. You show the way.
You seek to make things better every day.
