Money Will Not Happiness Buy Poem by Terence George Craddock

money is a pill eat drink opiate
addiction of consumer societies
spinning web advertisement lies

addiction purchasing stream constant
new products produces happiness
fame achieved provides perfect lives

yet both money fame are false obcessions
are marketed forms of salesmanship slaveries
chaining victims to excessive purchase debts

happiness may be wisdom obtained
through banishing irritant desires
false money wealth fame addictions

'I do not need money
And I do not need fame'

runs counter measure to almost every message
contemporary society inflicts upon young minds
advertising fills them with desires reality cannot fill

cleanse mind of damning desire impossible excess addictions

'I do not need money
And I do not need fame'
I refuse to play money game

happiness may be obtained
through banishing desires
money wealth fame addictions

runs counter measure
to almost every message
contemporary society

inflicts
upon young minds
advertising

fills
youth aged
generations

with desires
reality cannot fill
happiness

money is not

happiness is
love friends family
blessings adequate

provided sufficiency
adequate is sufficient
freedom from hardships

relax rest repose in serenity
in realization tranquillity
bliss is adequate sufficiency

because happiness
resides in prosperity
adequate sufficiency
