MONEY

A paper with power, that rules our life.

It can provide comfort, but also bring us strife.

Some people chase after it, their desires never sated.

But in the pursuit of wealth, are they truly placated?

Money can be a tool to help those in need.

But it can also feed greed, causing hearts to bleed.

Wealthy or poor, money affects us all.

It can build up walls, or make them fall.

Money can buy things that bring us joy.

But it can also lead to a life devoid of true employ.

Sometimes the pursuit of money can blind us.

Our purpose forgotten, our values unjust.

Money can be a means to travel the world.

Or it can trap us, like a flag that's unfurled.

It can be a blessing, or a source of stress.

It's important to remember, money doesn't define our success.

In the end, money is just a paper we exchange.

It's our relationship with it that can be strange.

Let us strive for balance, and not let it consume our soul.

For true wealth lies in friendships and the love that makes us whole.
