Money Isn'T Everything -By Josner Saintil

Money isn't everything (BY Josner Saintil) He has a lot of money... But you seldom see a smile on his face. And, yes, he has the good life Yet all he speaks of his hate, death, and disgrace. Oh, Yes, he is the richest man alive! But what happens when all that weed causes him to die? What happens when his spirit is falling, but you think he thrives? What if he silently wishes, that he was not alive? Did you ever think that riches came without a price? Do you really think it comes on a silver platter, Or that it is really suffice? Or do you think that the rich man's smile, Is not truly hiding his soulful cries. Don't you know why the garbage man smiles? Don't you understand why the cashier doesn't worry much, Or why the teacher doesn't tell these soulful lies? Or why the old man ceases to cry? It is because they see life's train A broken voyage filled with pain. Roughly made railroads through a jungle deep, You may get lost or fall asleep. But on that train, they never slept. Some tears fell down, but not 'cause they wept. They almost got lost but found their way, From a lion's hold to a sunny day. No... Money isn't everything 'Cause it doesn't give true love, or joy, or satisfy. Money's just green paper, You can wet it or lose it Yet true love is what you can hold forever. When you find it, it is always nigh.
