dressed in gold..green shimmering eyes
making promises of riches, smiling with pride
you'll never be alone, sitting high on the throne
when you go just for the money, you'll sell your soul
your heart will turn cold, from the greed of gold
just for the money, just for the money
run with the money, run with the money
you can sell your conscious & buy a prayer
telling everyone to pay their fair share
people lost in a broken world, does anyone care
money won't buy your way into heaven
standing side by side at the gate, waiting fate
standing side by side at the gate, waiting fate
little bit of money, would be sweet like honey
make life a bit easier, lighten the load
careful of the glitter, it could be fool's gold
hang on to the cash, make a sweet stash
not asking for a king's ransom, just a bit of
silver
don't want to rule the throne, just a piece of my own..

ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
DeleteI agree money can lighten the load..I just worry about society and the obsession with money in a changing world where everyone is trying to survive...
If I sold my soul, could I buy it back?
ReplyDeleteWith all that dough I wouldn't lack? haha
But i do agree
Don't need tons of money
Enough to be comfortable is fine by me
The rest can go to some other sea
Hmm interesting I guess you could buy
Deleteit back if you had enough money...haha
We all would like money and need money
to survive..I just worry about the greed of
big business..making it harder each day..
You are right, if its all about money, then we will sell our souls to the devil ~ I like just having a bit of some silver to lighten the load ~
ReplyDeleteMe too Grace, just a bit of silver..would be nice I agree..
DeleteAh yes, money is a good thing, but not the most important thing!! If one has enough to lighten the load, that is all that is needed.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Mary,
DeleteWould be great for each to have enough to live comfortably..with the cold months coming up I wonder how the homeless will survive a harsh change in temperature.
Something abut money--I recall a bible story. Teacher said to very rich man, "Sell every thing you have, give the money to the poor, leave your people. Then come and follow Me." This has always intirgued/troubled me. But it is a reminder of how important IS it (money!)
ReplyDeleteA good "thinking" poem, Truedessa.
I LIKE "Your heart will turn cold from the greed of gold!"
Hi Steve,
DeleteThanks for visiting..always a pleasure my friend as I enjoy your thoughts and comments.
Peace & Light...
Money corrupts the soul that yearns to be free by offering it as an avenue to freedom inside a different kind of prison. Good treatment. Great read.>KB
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment freedom inside a different kind of prison well said...
DeleteWhen it is all about the money, there will never be enough. Yes, many a heart has turned cold chasing gold.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true..we need more balance in life..then we will be more satisfied as people.
Deletereminds me of paul's prayer to have enough money so that he doesn't have to go hungry but not so much to put his trust on it... money can give false security..true..ugh..
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Claudia, thanks for the visit, I always enjoy reading your insightful comments..
Delete"you can sell your conscious & buy a prayer" Love this line and your graphic.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to visit and leaving a comment.
DeleteMoney doesn't care for everything, some things still beyond its power.... Nice work
ReplyDeleteThat is very true..money can't buy everything...
DeletePeople who go only after money miss what is wonderful in life! Great graphic!
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteThanks for the visit and I agree with you, better to enjoy the wonderful moments of life.
So dangerous to be too taken up with money. I agree with the above comment. We can miss so much in life if that's all we think about.
ReplyDeleteHello Victoria,
DeleteThanks for taking the time to read my words..perhaps, some just have different priorities and sadly may miss out on life.
Money is just part of what you need.. and you definitely don't get happier with more. And being eaten up with greed is definitely of things not to do.
ReplyDeleteBjorn,
DeleteWe all need money and it does make life easier but, it should not be the main focal point in life as greed is a dangerous thing.
It would be so nice to moderate these needs. People feel very much as if it were all or nothing--they have a sense of being threatened into doing more than they want. Such an interesting way to describe it all. This is Karin of Manicddaily. Thanks. k.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Karin,
DeleteThanks for visiting and leaving the thought provoking comment. All or nothing, it would be nice to have that place in between where we
can feel comfortable on a daily basis.
