God of Money

Welcome to the land of love and blood. Welcome to the land of milk and honey, but never stumble and fall in the mud. Stay on the path that's bright and sunny. Don't you ever bow down to the god of money. Don't ever succumb to the hell that is greed. Don't you ever fall in that trap; it ain't funny. Don't obsess on what you want; focus on what you need.

The old adage of 'having enough' seems to have no relevance in today's world. For a short period of time in my life, I obsessed over what I wanted until I realized I was creating a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction. Enjoyed your wise words. Have a great evening, Sara

The wise words are not entirely mine. This is an entry in the Glenn Hughes Poetry Contest and it's based on his song with the same title. But you're right. So many people I know seem to be in constant competition to get the "most toys". Glad you enjoyed the poem. Cheers! J.
