Money Trickery

I found out
All that money is
Not needed
Cash doesn’t
Cure pain, sadness, and sorrow
And can’t buy pure love

Very true indeed, my friend. We have a saying over here: money can't buy happiness. Although, some add: it's better to be miserable in comfort, LOL.

I have zero hate in my heart....BUT....I must admit, if there was one thing I HAD to hate, it would be money! You describe the monetary beast well! I do love all the poems by you!
