Lust for you

Lust for you

A Poem by Mary Christabel George
"

Money can really make one crazy but do you want to be?

"

LUST FOR YOU

 

You make people go bankrupt, If we lose you.

You make us poor, if we don’t know how to multiply you.

You make us feel humiliated, if we have less of you.

You make us feel embarrassed, if we fall short of you.

You make us envious of others, who have too much of you.

You make us fight over you, having not spared kingdoms, empires, countries, fathers & sons.

You give us false impressions and fake friends, if we have too much of you.

You are not found in the tents of refugees but in the ammunition of war stuck countries.

You are not seen in the eyes of children with malnutrition but in the pay checks of celebrities.


It’s not your fault, actually, oh money!

It is we who unfortunately. have lust for you!!

Powerful piece here. And so true and relevant. While money can be useful in our lives, greed and lust for more and more of it is a problem in our society.

Indeed, the love of it is the root of all evil.
