Money
Money has functions four
Exchange, value, later costs and store
It adds to power in life
For more wealth, luxury car and wife
Gold and perfume are assured
Still more is aimed with lotto tickets
Compounded interest secured
With debit and credit cards in pockets
Most gifts are given in cash
Friends multiply as riches are abounding
And shopping is never a rash
But some involve in wicked dealings
No thinking, no self-esteem
Cluttered mind, some terrible vices
They can’t do right it seems
Their living turns into a roll of dice
Some forget past struggles
And venture in race for more money
While family life bungles
Till bad eyesight and bones are creaky
What sin they’ve been through
Why consider “others better than me”
They must cease to be a fool
One should be fair with money and family
