Is Money Worth Having? Poem by Rajat Joshi

Is Money Worth Having?

Rating: 4.5


This is a fast and competitive world,
Where the time is money
And the man is in hurry,
Oh, mad man, money is an awful bane,
You’d know that if you weren’t insane.

But alas, it is too late today,
And money if the feeling, the dwelling and the healing,
The love, the friendship,
The life of a man.

Today the progress of your life depends
Upon the way you interact when
You have nothing at all,
And the way you manage,
When you have ‘money and all’,
People say so while I don’t believe it.

The life depends much more on the heart!
A heart and only a beautiful heart,
Where feelings can live,
And love can prevail,
And no amount of money,
Can be dominating there.

A place where no rich or poor exist,
Where money would rust and be valueless there,
I want the world to be brought over there,
And make them LIVE their life, their way,
And not be slaves of MONEY for the day.

Beautiful analogy rajat...the poem itself create some Utopia. But what else can we do people are becoming more greedy and self-centered that money is all that they want. They change the old good saying Live and Let Live to Live and Let Die.

Right! Money wouldn't take you to utopia. When you get free out of money, you will get your own utopia open to public, and no one can take it away from you. Really well-written, love it! ! thank you!
