Not For Money But For Poetry Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE
Not For Money But For Poetry
money, money, and money
wherever I move my face whenever
I'm whispered by greedy inclination
oh;
the money cause of severe death as well as life,
the money cause of ineffable disrespect as well as respect,
the money cause of harrowing poverty as well as richness,
the money cause of inhuman war as well as peace,
but the money is not the cause of knowledge, wisdom,
sagacious stability of mind, eternal peace
no; never I wanted the money
not now I am ravenous for the money
won't have to give me the money
yes, give me poetry, give me the poetry
where I find the pure fragrance of wisdom, saintly peace of eternity

Money is just an item to make barter exchange in fairer system, but causes craziness in many others. What can we change with our happiness, only self can do it even when money tried to talk.
Relevant points raised, and raised well... this happens when money transcends being a mere means, and become an end in itself
Money is like a virus. Once it catches you then, it becomes a deep rooted disease. The Greed for money is like a viral fever. You are right, dear Poet. Let poetry be our wealth. May its fragrance spread everywhere. Thank you for this interesting poem with a strong message.......10
excellent comment with deep thought; Thanks Dear Ma'm (Poetess) with everyone
Money is like the corona virus; comes unfortunately but one day deprives all from its internal happiness
won't have to give me the money yes, give me poetry, give me the poetry where I find the pure fragrance of wisdom, saintly peace of eternity........................SO TRUE! POETRY IS THE BEAUTY WE MUST CREATE and KEEP. Crystal Clear, thank you so much for sharing, Mahtab!
Yes, a life lived for money will be so poor in quality. Of course money is needed for a decent life. But if money is seen as the be all and end all of life, we are sadly mistaken! For a poet, his poetic imagination and poetic gifts are much more valuable than all the riches he garner....! Well said Mahatab!
I concur with the wonderful thoughts of the Poet. Yes, money is not the cause of knowledge, wisdom and eternal peace. These are the things beyond the power of money. One might have much money but life is meaningless. I agree that Poetry can bring us to the realm of wisdom, peace and knowledge. It may not give us money but the treasure that may accrue is eternal bounty. A wonderful and powerful write that conveys the very essence of Poetry.
