Lust Or Money

Some say money is the root of all sins, But, I think lust ranks well above dough Money may provide the means, although, Lusting in the heart is where it all begins. Money, when wisely invested, you see, Provides for a wealthy, luxurious retirement But lust can lead to a long imprisonment Always remember, the piper pays the fee. HONORABLE MENTION written June 10, 2021 for "$ Poetry Contest" sponsored by Anthony Biaanco

We'll see. I'm not very good at rising to the top, but I hope it will place, at least. Thanks.

Money can blind someone, if in haste a man in lust may end up committing a crime. This piece says, be careful with desire. I really like this one Milton!...ab
