Nobody loves you when you’re young and nothing,

Nobody sees when you’re hustling for a buck and a dime,

Everybody loves you when of age & you’re something,

Everybody sees when you make it.

Nobody loves you when you’re poor,

Nobody cares until you have made your name,

Everybody loves you when you’re rich and loaded,

Everybody cares when you’re praiseworthy and famous.

Nobody cares when you are hungry and thirsty,

When you are down, out, and finished,

Nobody gives a damn when you’re ill,

And you’re depressed.

Nobody loves you when you’re are grey and old,

When you’re weak and have nothing to offer,

Everybody loves you when you’re six feet underground,

Everybody loves when you scratch their back.

Proverbs 14:20, “The poor are despised even by their neighbors, while the rich have many “friends.”

Proverbs 19:4, “Wealth makes many “friends”; poverty drives them all away.”
