Money

For the selection of poetry this week, I have chosen to feature a poem which is written by someone who is actually not a professional poem writer, Gerry Mark. I can tell because there was almost no single information related to this bloke on the web. Anyway, the title is “Money”, I choose it because the content is presumably very naïve and lame. However, it is at the same time genuinely true and inspiring at its best value. Enjoy.

"Money"

Money can buy costumes but not beauty

Money can buy idols but not devotion

Money can buy books but not wisdom and knowledge

Money can buy bed but not rest and sleep

Money can buy medicines but not health

Money can buy wealth but not health

Money can buy clothes but not shame

Money can buy food but not hunger

Money can buy flowers but not freshness and fragrance

Money can buy land but not home (made of human hearts)

Money can buy honey but not sweetness

Money can buy some things but not everything

Money can buy luxuries but not happiness.
