Pyramid Scheme

Considering investment

In the Elysian Fields

The treasures we can transport

From our mortal harvest’s yields

We must examine things suited

Within spiritual purse

And things that we must leave behind

Which death shall then disperse

We cannot transfer currency

From earthly banks or stores

Material possessions

Are corporeal resource

Utility of passions

Born of instinct have no use

Consuming our desires in the pyre

As refuse

What are the things which endure

With the soul that carry on?

Does not a will infused with love

Eternal glory spawn?

A pyramid cannot protect

In death from plotting thieves

It is yourself you rob

When virtue neglected bereaves
