The Need of Life


The need of life
Everyone wants it
But not everyone has it
People struggle without it
But it runs the world
Buys diamonds and pearls
Comes in many forms
Green, shiny, or bronze
Paper or copper
Although some people question
The value of a dollar
We can detour any law
Using money and speak louder
But money cannot replace the truth
The greed of people equals power
