Money

A Poem

Trying to collect money

Is like trying to catch sand

The more you have

The less it fits in your hand

There will never be enough time to collect it all

The faster you chase after it

The more you fall

You must learn to use it

And not try to carry it all

For the more you carry

The more to bury you when you fall

    I agree. The world never has enough money to go around, and every word you speak in your poem is accurate.
