Money

Men are puppets in the arms of money,
with greed lurking in the hearts of many,
They long for position and power,
and the sure way to get within the hour is money.

They feel that once they have wealth,
they possess mind and souls by bribe or stealth,
one important thing they dont realize is,
they themselves are possessed by money.

life is a fragile canoe,
striving to cross the sea of desires,
but this life is sweetest with money,
with a portion of chiffon-pie and honey,
than greed that conquers the hearts of many.
