Money

What is it about money,
That makes people lose their mind;
Everyone keeps on fighting,
Has the world gone blind?

What is it that makes people think
They deserve what they don’t earn;
When does it all stop,
When will people learn?

People are not stupid,
But now a days you’d never know;
Families are being ripped apart,
And Friends becoming Foe.

I’ve wracked my brain and tried to find,
The reason for all this mess;
People should be getting along,
Not forcing friends to stress.

At some point in time it has to stop,
This hell we’re going through;
And hopefully everyone will give that
“I’m Sorry” that is long overdue.
