Holds fast to money
You can not do anything
Without money
Money gives you status
And position
Go on calculation
Money begets respect
And honor
Hoard money my dear
And remember
Money is only for
Mundane pleasure
Where you find
Death is near.
Gajan, you scoundrel, I'm gonna turn you in to the ghost of Langston Hughes.
