Money can get a person murdered but <br />It can’t ev’r bring back life that has once left; <br />Money can build a palace from a hut! <br />It can’t give widows, husbands, love bereft. <br /> <br />Money can give love-making hours and lust; <br />It cannot wipe the sin of adultery; <br />Money can make idols that go to dust, <br />But can’t wipe tears, stop wars, crimes, misery. <br /> <br />Money can make a man tell false witness; <br />It cannot stifle justice of our God; <br />Money can buy a harem to Caress, <br />But not the Word of God who is the Lord! <br /> <br />Money can buy most things on earth but ne’er <br />A place in Heaven, the least however!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-money-buys-sinful-things/
