Europa Poets' Gazette No 76

There are those who have money and shout loud how much they’ve got.
There are those who have money who make themselves look good - fancy home, fancy car.
There are those who have money who make the world dance to their tune (and there are those who see that money and take full advantage of it for themselves).
There are those who have money who live quietly and make no fuss about it, mainly because they are alive and breathing (what joy!).
There are those who don’t have much money at all and they reach for the dream through whatever means, only to fail at the last gasp because the odds are stacked against them. Others survive humbly.
Money can only buy the peripheral. It can’t buy life.
When the last day is done, all that wealth goes to someone else, or the state.
Take your pick - but never forget money (lots of or little) drives harder than the urge for sex.
