A MONEY PARADIGM!

A new years resolution stems from what I've learned this year

Money has become a driving force from which we can not steer

Opportunity is now to set the stage for what has been set in motion

Never will we be set free from this daunting path we've chosen

Endlessly chasing rainbows never ending looking for our pot of gold

Yet our dreams will never be revealed as our lives are bought and sold

Paid money for time in jobs we hate but most dreaded is the thought

Acquiring knowledge is indeed a better way instead of money sought

Repetitious lifestyles revolve around the almighty crushing dollar

Are we dogs on leads or are we people dragged about by the collar

Dissolution of our aspirations as we take on each daily battle

Instinctively denying the realisation as we're prodded like cattle

Get what you need and give what you're given is the key to life

Make no mistake a life chasing money will always cause strife
