Precious Is a Life

They that kill so wantonly;
callous conveyers of death.

Love of money
above all else.'
But human lives
have human dreams-
 Have human plans
 Have human goals

Human's love,
caress another's lips;
clasp a lover's hand.
seek out the stars
on cloudless nights

If only you would ruminate
another's precious fate
perhaps you'd count the cost.

either way,
as fire lifts up stubble,
 
you'll pay on judgment day.

I have heard a rumor for years that we have a cure for some cancers, but if we knew of it, it would put so many companies out of business, those who know are keeping it a secret. I sincerely hope this is not true, yet, greed is so out there!

'The love of money is the root of all evil.' Many people quote ti wrong. Money in it self is not evil. The LOVE of it is.

Thank you Sunshine. Although I had the Cartel in mind. I also think about death in the name of money for the elite. Foods that cause children cancer. Money is a means. The love of money, however, will sacrifice anything; including human loves. Have a blessed Easter Sunshine Smile. Allen
