Not For Money But For Poetry

money, money, and money 
wherever I move my face whenever 
I'm whispered by greedy inclination

oh; 
the money cause of severe death as well as life, 
the money cause of ineffable disrespect as well as respect, 
the money cause of harrowing poverty as well as richness, 
the money cause of inhuman war as well as peace,
but the money is not the cause of knowledge, wisdom, 
sagacious stability of mind, eternal peace 

no; never I wanted the money
not now I am ravenous for the money 
won’t have to give me the money 
yes, give me poetry, give me the poetry 
where I find the pure fragrance of wisdom, saintly peace of eternity
