God created mankind
and in his loving nature
spread talents and capabilities
varied and diverse
amongst them all (what a great dad!)
But then some sharp men created something else
money, M-O-N-E-Y
and with it all the power it brings
and changed the rules of the game
undoing all God had sought to achieve
Yes, God’s plan remains visible
there are geniuses born to every race
special ones born to every continent
in useful talents and gifts
the world looks like a somewhat even field
Some places produce great runners
some produce great cars (those made in Bavaria come to mind)
some have a knack for working with leather
others produce great singing talents
proof of God’s love for all (what a great dad!)
But man’s creation has set up walls
you can be the most talented dude in the world
but without a practical, workable way to convert that talent
to cold hard cash – the universal language, some say
you gonna be on the outside looking in
Money
it won’t buy happiness, and it won’t guarantee fulfilment
but it sure would buy a bed and a warm meal
a very good start if you ask me
just ask the neighbourhood wino!
