...A Few More Words On Money...A Poem by Alvin L. KathembeA kind of postscript to 'A Few Words On Money'
Money isn’t the answer to most of life’s questions "
But it’s a pretty good guess ’Cause when the choice is between Crying bitter tears, out in the cold Into your filthy garments; And crying bitter tears in your palace Into your velvet pillow; Then comfortable misery Beats impecunious misery Every time. Money can’t buy a friendship But it can buy a yacht And some people prefer Partnerships to companionship But like cruise ships most of all " The warmth of loving, and being loved; Replaced with fur coats and central heating And the spark of affection With the glint of carats. Money can’t buy contentment " Money can’t buy you peace Money can’t buy you Love Or fill the emptiness And give your life meaning… Some things are priceless Some things money can’t buy… But what of the man Who has not a cent to his name And has not even those? ? ? ! ! ! © 2011 Alvin L.
