Money Poem by Pragya Bajpai

What is money?
Is it honey?
As today people are allured towards it
as bees are attracted towards honey
Money is something today which everyone
wants to grab
But sometimes when mode of earning is wrong
very easily gets trapped.

Money can buy books
But not knowledge and intuition
Achieving it needs great
reformation and revolution
Money can buy costly medicines
But not this precious life
As it is decided by heavenly God
till when on this earth we survive.

Money can buy branded clothes
And fill our designer wardrobes
But cannot soften the heart of our foes
Money can buy artificial oxygen
But not the late rainy season.
Money is everything for few people
For them honesty is something
regarded illegal.

Money can buy high class air tickets
But not morals and etiquette
India is in 21st century
People are running after money
Which sometimes brings agony
When relations are not given same preference
as given to money.

Money can buy a big ladder
But not steps of success
For that first good virtues a man must possess
Money should also be considered
a weapon of morality
Try to donate a bit
to orphanage and charity.

Try to control immense materialistic necessity
And divert a little towards spirituality
And maintain money's utility
As it is earned by great
hard work, honesty and ability
And live in this beautiful world
With peace, harmony and community.
