Money



Money! What men crave for every moment they see the light of day
It's comforting yet brings discomfort to the soul
Brings happiness yet tears one to shreds with excruciating pain

Money! How can you be so desirable yet extremely deadly
You make brother turn against brother
Friend turn against friend
People fighting and murdering one another just to taste the life that you offer

Money! There are no limits when men what to acquire you
Their evil hearts become more darker than ever
They see absolutely nothing but you
Compassion, love, and fear is gone
All that's left is the sight of you

Money! The temptation and thirst for you goes on for every breath men take
Men never get enough of you
You bring in selflessness yet selfishness evolves
You'll never stop until you become the doom of men
