Money Vices

Money has functions four Exchange, value, deffered costs and store It adds to more power in life For more wealth, luxury and pride Gold and perfume are assured And our family future is secured Yet more is aimed with lotto tickets Put debit and credit cards in pockets As most gifts are given in cash And shopping is never a rash Friends multiply as riches are abounding But some try wicked dealings With no thinking, no self-esteem They can’t do right it seems Cluttered mind, few do illegal vices And render life fully febrile Some of them forget past struggles As they venture in race for more money Their family life bungles Till bad eyesight and bones are creaky For they feel “others are better than me” What sin they are through Why do they not choose virtue Try to be fair with money and family And keep themselves up lawfully
