石基連詩集

A poor man’s brilliance may be food for ridicule.
His riches and power may be shunned
As being the food of the fool.

The mogul might dismiss wealth but not power,
But he still maintains that his oak
Is far better than the poor man’s bowyer.

Fighting hard in order to succeed and prosper,
Ofttimes the rich man prefers the poor man’s tools,
But maintains the order of his rules.
