Nothing Can We Take

love and life it can cost
so fascinating is the allure
once infected by pursuit
this disease truly has no cure

money comes and goes 
never seems to be enough
always wanting more
willing to sell one's soul for that green stuff

ironic is the ending
for everyone dies in poverty
nothing can we take
on our journey into eternity
