Money

Money is the bane of man Since the day that time began It has started wars Invasions onto foreign shores It is involved in the death of men And continues to be again and again The only thing people are willing to kill for No matter how much they have they always want more We need it to stay alive Without it we cannot survive A necessary evil in our every day lives We think it helps us but it only deprives Teathered down by our lust for it To its will we all submit Now all mankind bitter and awry A truth that we chose to deny It makes our choices for us Leaving others to clean up our mess We act like this is not the facts But for our ignorance we pay a heavy tax We throw money at every thing that goes wrong And we the people just go along It destroies our moral foundation We corrupted it as a nation We are all to blame We treat life like it is one big game Money becomes our only answer It has become a cancer For which there is no foreseeable cure It is a condition we must endure 2/28/09

Enik, how well you sum up the adage "Money is the root of all evil"! Yet, as you said, we can't live without it. Great poem and very timely as people struggle to find the money to pay bills! Love, Carolyn
