Money without wisdom is vanity


Vanity looms around the earth like a scathing wind blown out of the sea,

Big fish can not be mistaken for small fish, 

It is what we see with our eyes that proves It to be what it is,

Today people think money is the solution to  all their problems,

"Did i say  problems?"

Well you probably read that right,

Yet money is said to be the root of all Evil,

If money answers all things where is wisdom then?

Where is that intellect in a man that guides him?

It hurts me seeing people spending more than they earn and later claim they are poor,

But yet a little wisdom applied on the same income they spent would have made things work..

I choose not money over wisdom for it is wisdom that makes a man earn riches he desire .
