Poetic-Verses
'' Money Is But A But A False God ''
This very word can bring such joy,
it can also cause us such fear,
it can lift you up yet it can also destroy,
make you smile or even shed a tear.
It's something we claim you can't live without,
yet it causes us all so much stress,
worshippers of this God are so devout,
do you love it, they'll always say yes.
Some will have plenty while others do not,
those without are the most in need,
the ones who have plenty keep all they've got,
they become over obsessed with greed.
It can't and won't make you healthy,
contrary to what they might say,
peace of mind is what makes you wealthy,
this is guaranteed to lead you astray.
It will never bring you love or peace,
that can only come from within,
without it all world problems would cease,
it's the reason for all major sin.
It's the one true cause of world wars,
disputes of every kind,
the poor and weak it really abhors,
it can make an honest man blind.
It cannot give you the gift of life,
it won't adhere you to family and friends,
though it can and will be the cause of strife,
when your life finally ends.
People worship it all over the Earth,
they really need to ask why,
for when it's time for your ship to berth,
it's no use to you when you die.
It can bring down institutions,
force our world governments to fail,
it causes more problems than solutions,
to some it's their Holy Grail,
It's the root of all evil we know that is true,
why we worship it is really quite odd,
health and happiness it will never accrue.
that's why,
