What Can Money Buy Poem by Jacson Gelato

What Can Money Buy

Rating: 4.2


Money can buy me
food and clothes
a house, a car
and all the things
which I can pay for
with money in my hand.
Money can even buy
air that we breathe
that helps man to respire
when on a ventilator
he struggles.
Money can even buy
water which is packed in bottles
and labeled as mineral water.
Money can even buy
vision when a cataract
is corrected by an ophthalmologist.
Money can even help
to travel faster by Jet.
But what can money not buy?
-a friend, a prayer
and the last breath of life
for these are things
that money cannot fetch
as they have no price.
