Infatuation and Devotion

infatuation
		with money and all it buys
		       joins devotion to
		things over people trapping
	        some who will never escape

Thanks so much, Jan. To me, tanka and haiku are tricky; I never really feel sure my poem qualifies as one of these! Janice

Indeed! Money has corrupted most people, I would venture to say and are obsessed with material possessions. Well written, Janice:)

Thanks so much, Danny. Some other church members (all 60+ women, like me) and I were discussing materialism one day. At first, we all said there was little of that in us. Within ten minutes we were all SEEING it . . . ! Janice
