The Wealthy Stuck In The Asset Trap Brigade

 

~*~

 

Dedicated to those  who love for love not money!

 

~*~

 

Many wealthy men and women,

Are stuck in asset traps,

Got loads of wealth shared with partners,

But their sex life at home is crap.

 

Many have extra-marital affairs,

The men can't leave their wives,

Because they're stuck in an asset trap,

That to leave would wreck their lives.

 

Wealthy women whose lives are crap,

With their husbands, no good in bed,

Do a 'Shirley Valentine',

The rest remains unsaid!

 

The philandering halves in asset traps,

Never want to lose their wealth,

They love their opulent lifestyles,

So their loving is via stealth!

 

Playing away, yet supposedly,

They're on a business trip,

Stuck in a wealthy life,

Where their possessions got a grip.

 

Sometimes their other halves,

Will turn a blind eye,

Just to remain in their luxury homes,

The asset trap is a living lie.

 

They are the glitterati,

The together couple, many want to be,

Seemingly rich and happy,

But prevailing in infidelity.

 

Rich and wealthy in palatial homes,

No expenses spared,

Holidays and homes in the sun,

With secret lovers undeclared!

 

Their love is only skin deep,

And as long as their wealth will last,

Its really only the shared money they love,

'Cos only their assets are steadfast.

 

The Wealthy Stuck in the Asset Trap Brigade,

Do they really have it made,

Living a life of Riley,

But having to elsewhere to get laid!

Its a sad fact of life that money and assets, possessions and material gains is so often something which many married people strive to maintain at the cost of sharing true love and emotional happiness, suffice to say that such people take the line "You can't live on love only money" ...whereas the incurable romantics like me take the line "I can live on love and prefer to" .... without prejudice of course (as with all of my poems) this is a look at those in 'The Wealthy Stuck in the Asset Trap Brigade' who share joint assets amounting to considerable monetary and material wealth but find that the only missing element is true passionate love, so from their sterile marriages they go and play away, with their partners either doing the same or turning a blind eye just to maintain the opulent stance of sharing their wealth and assets....even worrying about parting and then being plunged down the social ladder and losing face with their shared wealthy friends and relatives...... dear me "what will people think of us" !

The Profumo Affair about the affair of John Profumo back in the 1960's was a well publicised scandal involving a UK government minister, who was forced to admit his infidelity to his wife, who stood by him despite this, and more than likely because they were in the 'asset trap'.

Likewise was the case with Lord and Lady Archer, also a UK government minister who confessed his affair to his wife, who has stood by him and again, because of the asset trap.

The scandals of both such affairs lead to the downfall of both men but their marriages survived.

David and Victoria Beckham are the latest examples of the victims of the 'asset trap'!

The hit US TV series "Dallas" is a prime example of such behaviours ! check out :

Its so sad that money can trap people when many believe it leads to freedom ..... does it? Makes you think doesn't it?!

No offence meant!
