There is no denying
That money is important
An absolute necessity
For survival in this society
But for many rich
It is not only a necessity
But a reason to live
The meaning of their existence
Every decision whether right or wrong
Hinged upon how it affects
Their wallet now or in the future
Sacrificing every bit of their integrity
Or what is left of it
Money being the ultimate
Ruler of their lives
Slaving away to make more
Confusing money as self worth
Propagated by popular notion
That money begets respect
Albeit only from those who
Worship money
Having exchanged their self respect
Integrity honor and soul
To increase their checkbook balance
By a penny or two
Pitiful
