IS MONEY EVERYTHING?
Jahismine O.
Money! Money!! Money!!
Money is what gives you happiness
And at the same time leads to distress
What is the usefulness of what can't give full happiness?
What joy is it of a thing that gives stress?
Money is useful but it is also useless
Money is the root of all evil and evil is the root of money
Why would you say money is everything?
When there lies love, peace of mind and happiness even in nothing
Man shall not live by money alone as it is said
But by what gives complete happiness as I've said
The man who has nothing is peaceful than he who had money
If money is everything then it should give how we should spend it
If money is everything then it shouldn't leave us wanting
If money is everything that means its leaving should make us empty
Money is important but it is not what fills our emptiness
Money is something but not everything

Money
Shall we first remind ourselves of the roots ?
The Bible tells us "Money answers all things"
Wise proverbial sayings will tell us "Money is the root of all evil"
Even the Yorubas, a distinct and colourful tribe in Nigeria isn't left behind,
They'll say "Òwó ni ó maa n ba òjú òré je"
Fathers have placed calabash on their children heads in a bid to get money,
Mothers have hawked on streets till they came into contact with the god of death,
Are the children left out?,
Sadly no, children continually steal money from their parents daily,
Even the law enforcement agencies now require money from victims before responding to their woes,
The rich would rather allow Marital communal with another rich counterpart,
Seminars, symposium, among others all over the world,
They all central around a fact, money must be made,
Students thrive to succeed in school to be able to make money,
The common base of all the arguments made above, Money!
Is it then safe to say "Money is everything" ?
