Money Is Not Everything.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

what i said this
morning created a stir.
if it were water there
was this whirlpool.
many comments followed
suit like dry leaves
falling on a windy day.

and this i said:
money is not everything.
money is not the solution
to all our problems.
there are matters which
money cannot buy.

and the post went viral.
all claiming that money
is important and if i do not
need it, i might as well
give it or part away with it.

and so i deleted it.
