Money, Money, Money

Money is the devil.
Those who have it want more of it
and would do anything to get it.

Who in the world invented this devil
and did they want it to cause us so much misery
that some would even take others' freedom for it?
That is total madness!

I wish we could return to a time
when there was no money
Maybe then, there wouldn't be so much
pain and suffering,
no judgment and blame.

I HATE MONEY, BUT I ALSO LOVE IT!

-Tito Walaza

  1. Tito, I miss seeing you, but I am THRILLED that I can read your poetry! I love this one. It's such a real conflict you describe--the danger of money, yet the desire to have it. I feel the same way you do...argh! Can't wait to read more of your work. -Miss H.

  2. You describe the money trap so well here, Tito. I appreciate your honest look into such a fundamentally tough problem. I think everyone faces it on some level, so good for you for bringing it out.

    Keep writing!
