Money, oh money, you hold such power
You can build empires, in just one hour
You bring joy and comfort to those in need
But also greed and envy, you can breed

Some say you are the root of all evil
But without you, life can be so dull and feeble
You make the world go round, they say
But at what cost, do we pay

You can buy us happiness, or so they claim
But true joy, cannot be bought, by any name
For in the end, it's love and kindness that truly matter
Not the shiny coins, that we endlessly gather

So let us not be consumed by your allure
But use you wisely, to help others endure
For at the end of the day, it's not the wealth we amass
But the love and compassion, that will forever last.
