Money...Money...Money. . .


Poem Artwork








What is legal tender
To You...
Money buys food, clothing, housing,
Vacations, cars...
You need it for your life's
Accommodations for living-
Money is also the root of all evil-
Corruption, political or governmental,
Drugs, money laundering, kickbacks
And so-forth-
I can sleep at night,
With a clear conscience

Money is like a woman to a man: can't live with it and can't live without it. ;-)

Money may be funny, but barter is harder.

Are you saying that money is evil tender?

It isn't the money itself that is evil. It is the corrupt people who do what it takes to keep the money rolling in, even though for a great many it is completely illegal . . . I don't consider people who have a lot of money evil, just those whose greed demands money by any means.
