Money Does Speak Every Language Why Otherwise Pretend Poem by Francis Duggan

Money does speak every language why otherwise pretend
Anyone who has heaps of it never seems short of a friend
This is how it has been always and always will be
Short of friends and short of money is the price of poverty
That money cannot buy you happiness so happens to be true
Though to be homeless and without a friend should not be anybody's due
But this is how it is with life and it does seem sad to say
That the once millionaire now bankrupt did have many friends but does not have a friend today
That with money speaks every language some may not agree
But that money can and does wonders for one seems obvious to me
The fact that love of money can lead to corruption so very true indeed
It's sibling also quite well known by the name of material greed
The praises of those with heaps of money so many like to sing
But as is often said about it in life it is not everything.
