Currency's Captivation

In a world of greed and power,

Money reigns, hour by hour.

A tempting force, it holds its sway,

Dictating choices day by day.

Some chase after its illusive gleam,

Driven by ambition, an endless dream.

But does it bring true happiness,

Or merely a temporary caress?

It holds the power to build and destroy,

To uplift spirits or steal joy.

A means to an end, a tool we use,

But let it not our values confuse.

For in the pursuit of wealth and gain,

Let kindness and compassion remain.

For true wealth lies not in material worth,

But in the love and kindness we unearth.

So let us not be slaves to money's might,

But use it wisely, with hearts alight.

To uplift, to share, and make a change,

For in our actions, true riches we exchange.
