At the beginning

the account was opened

and filled with life

as we began moving

around the board

we started spending

investing

what we’ve been given

playing the game

watching the sand

racing to the bottom of the hourglass

the longer it runs

the faster it seems to pass

humility is the beginning

of learning

that the price we really pay

for something

is the time we put into it

there is no refund for all those moments spent on fear

giving ourselves to nothing leaves us with nothing

even bad investments have a habit of growing

we can’t refuse the dividends of a portfolio of hate

every investor knows

the big question

“what are we earning

where we are investing?”
