Does Money Own You

The game of life is filled with greed, People that are eager to fill a need Money takes first place, While what is most important becomes erased Family’s pay a price Just to have something nice, You can’t take it when you die None of this will matter in the sky. Yet so much damage is caused by the dollar It does not take being a well known scholar To see the effects of what it brings Look around at everyone and everything People have killed themselves over stocks While there are so many children that don’t even have socks. Money is good to have, but not when it makes you go mad Many have sold their souls just to obtain the most Inside it's their "god" and has become their personal ghost, Their wants grow into unfruitful trees, Little streams become ravenous seas. When you put it all into perspective, When you know the true meaning of life, It’s not about what materials you have, It is about if you lived in peace, or in strife, Did you get to enjoy your children, husband or wife?
