What Money Can't Buy Poem by Randy McClave

Money can buy a bed
But, not never the sleep,
It can also buy the pillow to rest the head
But, not the peace to count the sheep.
Money can buy a clock
But, not never ever the time,
Freely will always go the tick tock
But, it can't stop a bell to chime.
Money can buy a book
But, not never the knowledge,
Even when its free to look
But, money can't make you intelligent in college.
Money can buy a position
But, it can never buy any respect,
It can give and make a tradition
But, it can never go unchecked.
Money can buy amusements and toys
But, not never true happiness,
It can give moments of smiles and joys
But, it can't give true love and tenderness.
Money can buy an acquaintance
But, not never a true friendship,
Sometimes it's cost is high maintenance
But, it can't buy true companionship.
Money can buy reverence
But, not never someone who is faithful,
It can even pay severance
But, it can't buy or redeem a soul.
Money can buy a house
But, it can never buy a home,
It can't be use to keep a happy spouse
And so, many do roam.
Money can buy medication
But, it can never buy good health,
It can never buy true salvation
It only gives one, temporary wealth.
