                MONEY
          By ... Steve Lucky

One of the biggest problems in the world today is money.
Many people do not have enough of it to survive.
The suicide rate goes up during times of economic stress.
No matter how much one has,
It never seems to be enough.
When I was eighteen, I would consider somebody
Having the money I do not to be rich,
Yet I can see I am spending
More money than I make.
Unless something changes in a few years,
This will become a problem.
Several projects have the potential
Of delaying this problem indefinitely,
But I can not be foolish enough
To depend on something that may not happen.
Love of money is a very bad thing.
I should avoid it at all costs
And so should everyone else.
May I never get so concerned with my own needs
That I neglect the needs of another.
