fatalism

gnomes, goblins, ghouls hover around me
trying to purloin my peace
this meagre life I've
yet, grotesque for them.

to be rich and h've a richer life
I lived a frugal life
now in Twilight I regret
why was I so stingy?

is it fatalism I wonder!
for now I reckon
"Better to live richly
than to be rich"

Author's Note

Purposely I used the word purloin
