Money is so full of nothing
It has no love to share
No care for others
No hope
No faith

Money will split a family apart
Just look around and watch
Time after time it's greed destroys
Annihilates
Consumes
Teases and kills

Who invented this cursed medium
Which drives people to obliterate others
Which thrives on making a person completely selfish
Which keeps building because it finds no limit    suitable

The root of all evil is such an appropriate tag
Such a fitting name for the great destroyer
The buck should have ceased with the kind deer

I have to laugh at those who say
   'If I only had money'

Is it not better to take stock in what we could all have
Like goodness
Friendship
God

Don't try and combine the above words with money
Please!
Okay!
Promise?

And one more thing
Don't try a charge card disguise
You plastic money mongers

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, I know just how you feel, and wish we all could all live together and cherish what we have; our love, our lives, our hopes. (sigh) I pray that we can reach out to all the needy with our loving hearts! (big hugggsssssss) So sad but well-expressed, sweet friend! You have such a beautfiul heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Like your messsage but I'll be a money chaser just the same but not to turn rags to riches...I do know what you mean and have suffered plentifully on its account but the issue living on this continent is not simple..need I say more?

ecrivan, it sounds like you have the much sought after secret.  somewhat of a limit.  Just try and hold that limit in tact.  That is the secret.  Rog
And thank you Noah for your kind comment. Rog

some people are so hooked on money and
it  makes me sick.  Now don't get me
wrong I don't mind having some money,
but it is the people who base their
whole exsistance on it and miss the finer
points of life that really get to me..
Good Job!
