Love of Money

Love of Money
Dr. James E. Martin
©March, 2014

Money is the root of all evil
Many try to intelligently say.
They sadly misquote the text
And cause many to from truth turn away.

Money is not the problem you see
But love of the lucrative stuff.
This love drives many these days
To never have enough.

Their constant drive for more
Brings behavior that’s questionable at best.
Morals are often ignored
As greed leads to failing the test.
