Nothing Can We Take
love and life it can cost
so fascinating is the allure
once infected by pursuit
this disease truly has no cure
money comes and goes
never seems to be enough
always wanting more
willing to sell one's soul for that green stuff
ironic is the ending
for everyone dies in poverty
nothing can we take
on our journey into eternity
