Money Or Love? Poem by Ramesh T A

With money one can buy property, material needs to live in the world and all
Relatives and friends to enjoy fun and support to be happy and gay in world;
But when natural disasters like storms, earthquakes and long wars come,
Will the friends and relatives and all come to one's help to save life and property?

Love and humanity only sustain humankind against all odds and hurdles ever;
With money these cannot be bought like any other materials of daily use or not;
Only by love, friends and compassionate humans can be earned in world life;
Through joy and sorrow in life, only love comes to one's support and saves life!

These truths can be seen during the times of natural disasters and long wars;
By accruing money, only jealousy and competition will prolong depriving peace;
jealousy and envy burn hearts of ordinary men and only enmity breeds for money;
But love and compassion sustains humanity against all calamities in life!

Snacks may be of temporary relief, but food only survives all ever in world;
If snack is money, food is love that has to be understood by wisdom to live well!
