WEALTH AND HAPPINESS

It is true life revolves around money
Wealth does taste sweeter than honey
But when we look into the society
She is tearing us apart

Maybe wealth brings about self-actualization
She has also brought about an increase in abortion
Young girls carelessly selling away her virginity
To riches, lost her pride in all morality

I see young lad sitting idly on the street
Hopelessly a menace to the society
Indulge in drugs, kidnapping, cultism, and all atrocities
Taking the gun to rob without thinking of its consequences

As does a thief not caught in the act, politicians are guiltless

Billions were stolen daily, yet told us flimsy excuses 

Buy luxury houses, cars, and always traveling on vacation

But easily, they forget that life is but for a short span

Money is as essential to every home undoubtedly
But it should not be to the detriment of the family
Why would a son kill his mother for ritual?
Why would a father give his daughter away to child marriage?

Do not let the reckless need for money
Blurt the sky in your life from the sun
If you really want to find true happiness
Appreciate life and strife to be the best there is
