CONTENTMENT by AL-TUTILI

First Line: LEAVE WEALTH WHERE WEALTH IS FOUND
Last Line: UNTIL YOU BARE ITS BLADE.
Leave wealth where wealth is found,
To folk who boast it's theirs:
It is the battleground
Of all superfluous cares.

In avarice and greed
No longer be arrayed:
The sword cuts not, indeed,
Until you bare its blade.
