Must Money Make Man Mad

Must money make man mad?
Money makes man mad
Meanwhile, man made money
Must millions make man mad?

Massive money many mention
Mighty materials, man’s main mandate
Making many mentally magnetic
Mean money might mar man

Con-men crave catching cash consistently
Committing crimes continuously
Consequently, they’re caught, captured, killed

While we wonder where we’re
We want wealth which withers
When we wouldn’t wake

We wouldn’t work without weighing ways
When we weigh madness with mildness
We would work with wisdom
When we work wisely, 
We would win

Panagiota Romios Date: 10/23/2022 5:56:00 PM Belated congratulations! People talk of the evils of money and of course, the wealthy have horns only! Not? I know many poor fraudulent people, seething with envy, too lazy to work. Just want the government to pay them for breathing?? God made us to work and stop living lives of envy.

Brian Johnston Date: 7/19/2020 11:49:00 AM For your consideration... Consequently, creeps caught, canned, cremated???? Why not omit words like "and?" when the form implicitly lacks rhythm?
