Money buys you things,
give your wealth,
makes you happy,
but does it really?
Does it give you friends,
does it give you family,
look at the people begging on the street,
hoping to find something to eat,
and you walk by while they cry,
not even bothering to say hi,
come on, just drop a penny or some coins,
don’t let greed demolish the need,
money buys you things,
gives you wealth.
Makes you happy,
but does it really?
