Money

Money is one of life’s necessary evils
everyone seems to want more
Those who have the most control
Would even go to war

Not worried about the cost
To increase their monetary wealth
Willing to give up anything
Including their family or health

Money cannot buy happiness
Is what many people say
But to those who are obsessed
Happiness just gets in the way

Having money can make life easier
No worries about how bills will be paid.
The decision to pay for meds or food
No longer has to be made

Money doesn't grow on trees
But that's what some younger ones think
One day you could be swimming in it
The next it could be gone in a blink

So invest your money wisely
And save up for a rainy day
Because you never know what life’s
Tomorrow is going to bring your way.
