Money is a Useless Thing

Money is a Useless Thing

When the earth passes away from all our greed and apathy, what will our treasures be then?
Precious metals, jewels, and coins alone offer no kindness,
Or shelter;
They offer no air to breathe,
They offer no protection from starvation,
They cannot ward off death.
In the end money is in fact a useless thing.
I’d much rather have friends by my side, 
A roof over my head,
Fresh air, 
And food on the table. 
In that day our only hope will be in seed and sweat;
In new life and living things.
