Money matters


1 Timothy 6:10 

10 For the love of money is the root of all evils.

Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith

and stabbed themselves with many pains.

 

Money ... strange ... why the connection?

Money ... love ... simple reflection

Money... power ... early detection

Money... greed ... some satisfaction

 

Money ... hunger ... what degradation?

Money ... strife ... always inflation

Money ... need ... in this nation

Money ... speed ... no inclination

 

Money ... hate ... complete destruction

Money ... force ... total annihilation

Money ... dope ... in fluctuation

Money ... nope ... familiarization

 

Show children your ways

and expect them to be different

Good luck ... and away

the world is no hindrance

 

Farewell ... character at bay

Who cares ... surely not us

Tomorrow ... a better day

Only daydreams … now a plus
