WEALTH
Wealth can be wonderful and a curse, it can make you do stuff that is not nice.
It can control your every move, making you into a slave for use.
Wealth needs attention and needs more, more money to grow and control all of the earth.
Wealth is a manmade substance it controls the flow of stuff that use to be free.
Like the apples that grow all over the earth, the corn, the food, now all have a cost, making us work just to survive.
We use to roam the earth and love and play just like the animals, we ate when hungry, kissed and hugged as needed to feel alive.
Now we must work and pay and pay, just to have the stuff that was free.
Wealth is status that we all want, this way we can have all our time to relax.
Wealth reminds me of the offer the opposer gave to Jesus, saying bow for me and all the earth will be yours.
Wealth is like power and can make us become a person we do not recognize.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
