Money is not a Goal

Amel M  Jassim

M is for the morning that shines our day

O is for the one who loves and pray

N is for the nothing that can change a good play

E is for the eagerness that found in you and me

Y is for why not following the right way

Money, Money, Money

To some it is sweet as honey

But don’t make mistakes many

Or else you will be so funny

I is for the eyes that see the truth

S is for the snack that poison, is loath

N is for the nadir that some would be

O is for the oath that is so heavy

T is for the tactic use to get gravy

Money, Money, Money

To some it is sweet as honey

But don’t make mistakes many

Or else you will be funny

A is for the advice that non will pay

G is for goods that right portray

O is for a man who doesn’t go astray

A is for a lot who hate betray

L is for the labour whose works relay

Money, Money, Money

To some it is sweet as honey

But don’t make mistakes many

Or else you will be funny

  1. Your poem is such a powerful reminder that money should never be the goal—it’s the love we share, the values we live by, and the purpose we carry that truly matter. I’m so proud of you for putting this wisdom into words. You’ve written something deeply meaningful, and I admire your heart and insight.

  2. What a wonderful stanza! Well done. I believe that while money serves as an end to a certain extent, it then transforms into a means of living—nothing more, nothing less.
