Money Can’t Buy Everything

Some say money can make a man complete,

But there’s more than winning the lottery to keep you off the street.

There are things you want- and things you need,

But without a lot of money, you can still succeed.

There are lots of things, that money can not buy,

it can’t make you immortal, and it can’t make you fly.

There are a lot of things that money can’t do,

It can’t make you young again, or a master at Kung Fu.

Some say money can make a man complete,

But there’s more than winning the lottery to keep you off the street.

 

I was inspired to write this original poem because of the fact of life: as society grows- things are based more and more on money, how much money you have, how much money you make- etcetera. People have survived for thousands of years with low, or even no income at all.

Money can’t make you happy- that is unless you share it with others. What is more important is love. you could be a millionare, but still be sad. Buying things makes you happy for a little bit- but only other people can make you happy in the long run. People may think that winning the lottery can make you happy, but unless you spend it wisely- it can’t.
