People, states money is the root of all evil.
Except they leave out the most important line.
It's the love of money.

We see many will sell their souls to the devil.
Just to be rich.
They totally loses all their common sense to get it.
They becomes mistresses.
Marry even to achieve it.
Don't matter about the misery behind it.

They embezzle and blame the other fella.
When it was them using it to pay bills.
Oh, the chase of the illusive dream.
Trying to get recognized by any means.

Our moral  compass becomes compomised,
to the point that those with sight becomes blind.

We fail to follow that common sense approach.
Told to us many years ago.
That anything worth having just means,
we have to work a little harder for it.

Money, don't control out hearts.
It don't control our minds.
We surrender our rights to follow life's protocol.
