They say money is the medium of exchange
I say it is the root of all evils,
correct me if I am wrong!
Money can buy you goods and commodities
not love and peace,
correct me if I am wrong!
Money is part of the system and essential
It is not quintessential for living;
correct me if I am wrong!
Money can measure the value of commodities
human values are immeasurable;
correct me if I am wrong!
Our social fabric is designed by money
but our moral character is the product of service
correct me if I am wrong!
Money can buy you shelter not home
can buy cloths not air, sunlight and salt-water
correct me if I am wrong!
Birds, animals and other living creatures are free from money
they live satisfactorily; they never harm or alter nature
correct me if I am wrong!
O mankind, be reasonable, apply head
heart may mislead you
think about it and correct me if I am wrong!
Making money the purpose of your existence will always lead to trouble. I think credit cards has taken over as the problem, and the banks who issue the true evil of society. Great poem Asim.
