blackberry in hand, chatting away
his muffled voice a cloud of sincerity
among the money hungry employees
eating a quick lunch, he looks the part,
his dearly departed mother always said,
but with her millions inherited so recently
time steals money, too much of either
is like hanging on a cliff and never knowing
when to let go, if you fall, all the cash in the world
cannot put a smile onto another dead face…

The deformed saying is "time is money." It has become "time steals money".
Written in under ten minutes, according to Red Writing Hood 's exercise. No editing is present here in this draft. Edited versions will be posted later at the end of this same item.

This afternoon's revision:

blackberry in hand, chatting away
his muffled voice a cloud of sincerity
among the money hungry golden boys
eating a quick lunch, he looks the part,
his dearly departed mother always said,
but with her millions inherited so recently
time steals money, too much of either
is like hanging from a cliff and trying
never to let go, falling, an oasis of dollars
cannot put a smile on another dead face…
