Let money be thy servant, not Master; <br />So, put thy wealth in use for mankind's sake; <br />Let progress come for fellowmen, faster; <br />What profits come if genuine, thou may take. <br /> <br />The money-needs of life on earth are small; <br />Money begets money and vices too; <br />But money cannot solve our problems all; <br />Let money not cause mis- conduct in you. <br /> <br />What use is money kept as coins and notes? <br />Banks lend their money so that they may grow; <br />Money cannot purchase all honest votes; <br />For money's sake, hardships, we undergo. <br /> <br /> How many pairs of shoes, your feet will need? <br /> Let excess money try to others feed.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-money/
