No Money Happyness

a poem I wrote whilst travelling, on a beach in Cambodia!

I was lying on the seashore more than half the world away,
I could'nt really ask for more cos ad been given a perfect day.
The cloud's had left the room,
Sky so clear I could see the moon,
Float'in talk'in with it's old friend the moon.

As I lay strum'in there with white sand company,
Five little Khumar kids walked up and sat next to me.
They did'nt know western dream's,
Did'nt ask what life means
Smiled a smile that was worth more than any words.

Maybe am just dreaming lies and hide'in from the truth,
But in my heart I know am right, would'nt change it if I could.
These people in poverty,
That are stronger than I'll ever be,
Still walk through their own time with a smile.

It's then I realized money can't buy you everything,
Then I realized it was just a man made thing,
Then I realized the chaos that it really brings.......and it's sad.
