The Root of Evil


We look at money like a toy,
Of personal pleasure and joy;
Buying what we say is need,
When really a desire of greed.

A craving to urge as it wants,
Burning within while it taunts;
As the greed wins out to get,
Even though you go into debt.

So suddenly you feel the ills,
For in the mail come the bills;
Owing more than you make,
Thinking of it to be a mistake.

Money is the root of all evil,
Through greed from the devil;
We forget that God supplies,
For every need that applies.

Every bird flying in the air,
He ensures enough to share;
As well as everyone on earth,
In an abundance of our worth.
