Money

"Money is this beautiful girl, in the world of men, like you, me and all.
Out of extreme desires to own its beauty,
We range ourselves from good, bad and ugly,
And end up doing things,
From betraying a friend to assisting an enemy.

We cross the rules,
We break some,
We create new ones
And we bribe the rest.
All is to enjoy its beauty.

We fight each other,
We kill each other,
We are never in peace when this girl is with us,
And we are never in rest when it’s with others.
We grow up in sea of jealousness, greedy and callousness.
Everything we do is for this beautiful girl.

Money is this one little beautiful girl.
We are just the vultures, with brains,
Hovering on it, to pluck our shares.
And once we fail to have it
And couldn’t get it, we call it a slut.
But when we own it, we call it a goddess."
