tontine

a scarcity mindset
either
makes one avaricious;
inherited wealth
the tontine of the rich -
a twisted bet born down the years
rewarding hoarding,
or thrifty;
make do and mend
so material can transcend
one time and place,
yet last,
in a way that enriches too
but without undue disparity.
a prosperity for posterity
built on charity and kindness
instead of small-mindedness
