[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.

ITs undoubtedly wonderful poem.
The fact and the truth.
As its clearly seen how intensively he expressed his emotions towards the most wanted "MONEY". Reading this even i feel i probably should not creeve for money when it does not give me the satisfaction that i want.
Adding to his poem i feel money is onething when it is with us or not it will definitely create tension in people mind. When its with us tension that we would loose it. When its not with us a tension that how ill we able to earn it.
SO very true whne he says too much is worse. We should be satisfied and try for more but do not loose ourselves to become rich.
Asolutely a master piece. One should save this poem in their heart. A fabulous job done santosh.
Money is a quantity to measure the wealth but not value, for there are many things which cannot be priced or evaluated using notes and coins.
A growing economy shifts everyone's thoughts towards money and market, but it is just a part of life. And money is a relative concept, the extent of importance of Rs 100 varies from person to person.
That was a refreshing topic dude. Keep it up. [:)]
A gud thought penned by my bro.. but i feel its too much desire makes a person blind in acquiring wealth.. Money is just a means it may be cash or kind..To fulfill the minimum needs man have to earn..So its nothing wrong in money..its all in the way we choose to use money..so its excessive desire which is bringing us down not the money.
wonderful job done by santhosh.superb poem.
"Widened the gap between the rich and the poor"
this sentence has so much weightage..
