Money corrupts

Money corrupts

like power it seems

to someone who is poor it seems quite obscene,

that though people are rich

and have more than they need,

they can still be corrupted

want more it would seem.

Money corrupts and turns good people bad

it is the root of all evil

drives many people mad,

desperate to have it

without it your poor,

you will struggle to survive

have the wolves at your door.

But money and power often go hand in hand

hence why the people ruling our lands,

are often quite wealthy

unlike you and me,

but that should not give them the right

to rule you and me,

and divide us by how much money we have.

We simply require enough for our needs

for clothing and comfort and for food to eat

and not simply to satisfy our greed.

  2. People confuse between money and God. They can use the money they are blessed with to make someone happy… but no. They’ll hoard it in banks.. block the money. Let it rot. As if they are going to take it to their graves
