It corrupts those with it.
It kills those without it.
In this day and age
We can’t live without it.
Money becomes power.
A force for both good
And evil.
There is enough to provide for all,
But those with it
Keep it to themselves!
Those with the power to save the world
Cannot see,
Or more likely do not want to see,
That life on this earth
Is nearing its end.
Looking after themselves
At the cost of the world
Will see them die as well!
How will money save them?

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Well spoken my friend
Much appreciated Norman.
Andy
most welcome
Money seems not to be the problem but greed. A good write that brings out human nature. Greed and foolishness. Take a rich man's money away and he will be rich again soon after. Give a poor man money and he will be poor again soon after just look at the loto winners. Give a man a fish you feed him for a day teach a man to fish and you feed him for a life time. Well written
That is a series of generalisations to beat all generalisations, Soren.
Your right Dave it is but generally true.
Thank you for your understanding words soren.

Very close to the start of a serious debate here - not going to happen.
Take it easy.
Most welcome Andy my pleasure
What we do and how we do current may be a key there, after all legal tender is called currency. 🙏🕊️
There is a key there but those on power have lost it Rik.
