A Child Lost For Money To Gain

A CHILD LOST FOR MONEY TO GAIN The lust for wealth can cause much pain Hurting and placing a child in pain Starved of love because of greed A child whose life is lost Cannot be recovered at any cost Turned away in her prime by a mother’s gain A mother that wanted it all Letting that child in her way, stumble and fall A child that had so much to give But denied that life to live. Letting the child stumble and fall So, she, the mother could have it all What can one about this mother say Except to hope that her greed will plague her one day. “A CHILD LOST CAN CAUSE SO MANY TO SUFFER” R. Taub, March 23, 2018
