[Dedicated to my father- most highly regarded and revered, my closest idol, inspiration and...as we realize no words can describe your father's care and affection...Sacrifices...next only to GOD, and to all those special people who want to be treated and live as 'those' with the 'Money']Money!Money!Money!
Tell me who is not after it, my dear honey!
It has the whole world behind it, as if in a trance,
And even this 'intelligent' world also is on the run tirelessly, hoping for a chance.
The people of this world know that this 'thing' is the cause for all their grief.
But are unable to transmute their firm belief,
About its influence on their living,
On its ability to transform their very being.
It was only us who invented this 'Money'!
But it has made us its slaves!
Of course, its not Money's flaw.
Its we who have made ourselves so very hooked on it.
Man is now two million years old!!
How has he lived till now?
With money?Nooo!! Impossible!
Money's age is not even ten thousand years!!
Money has divided our society,
Widened the gap between the rich and the poor.
Is man wrong?or is money wrong?
I tell you, both are wrong!
A millionaire's kid has an expensive toy,
And a 'poor' kid desires the same, but in vain.
What is this hapless kid's fault?
Are his innocent desires far less valuable than this inanimate thing?
As we know,"too much is too bad".
And its only worse , that we have had.
Right now, Money is ruling our world.
Unfortunately, it will bring a near end to this world.
Epilogue:
Its one of my oldest feelings that has been expressed in the form of this poem.I had always realized the importance of Money in our society.At the same time, its adverse effects on our social life can never be ignored.Its more than a wonder that merely a lifeless thing invented by man has become his thoughtless friend and contrastingly, his lifelong enemy.About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds.Has to be one of the greatest tragedies of the human society unless we believe in ourselves and work together to establish the ultimate dream of Universal equality.
