Blinded By Money Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Money seems to change everything somehow, it takes our
egos on a joy ride, forgetting who we are.

Leaving goodness, compassion and caring by the wayside,
as we travel, spending money like it grows on trees.

Becoming blinded by what it can buy, thinking being
narrowed into materialistic values only.

Yes, money changes everything, taking who we are and
making us into something we never were before.

Instead of sharing and helping those in need we tend to
look the other way, saying to ourselves someone else will
help them.

Where has our soul gone, what have we become, the only
thing coming from having money is we become selfish,
greedy and uncaring in our lives.

Turning from goodness in life to the evils of selfish
pride, greed and egos, letting them come forth from
our depths to rule and destroy our lives.
