Today's Poem

The Money Cycle

Money comes and money goes
Who knows where next the money flows?
Some dollars now for someone new
A child is born, pass him a few

And what will happen, what might this do?
Is fear of money now haunting you?
For money and power so often wed
And power corrupts, where are we led?

Don't fear! You know that life is good
We learn each day, at least we should
And if disturbed by greed or lack
Our progress surely is held back

Think freely now, outside the box
Employ the cunning of a fox
For money is not the god we think
When faced with love its power will shrink

Relax, enjoy the plans you make
Some day you will be eating cake
But eat too much, as well we know
Then all the joy can quickly go

So see the cycle from above
There's never a price for joy or love
And wisdom, too, seek things which last
For life, as money, is moving fast
