A note that everyone needs
which makes everyone feed

that makes men yield

to whatever creed

to have it in possession

though of valueand great worth

a paper that cheats, talks and steals

though it gives pleasure

because it is a valuable treasure

a paper that speaks more in one

that the most eloquent lover can in years

it causes men to go crazy

Money!

it makes the impoverished lament

and the prosperous rejoice

creates foes and friends

creates two nations

between whom there is

neither intercourse nor sympathy

the rich and the poor

it gives satisfaction

Yes! To the hunger of a greedy man

irrespective of the taken action

to have it in possession

saves criminals from indignation

everything it taints

and smears one's name in mud and paint

makes the weary faint

and the greedy great

A poisonous substance

that makes peace to cease

small but mighty

makes one busy but guilty

the affluent entreat for more money

the penniless and destitute for just money

money that prevails over justice

Money!

the good, the bad and the ugly

which makes men to worry

to have it in a hurry

the root of all evil

the excess love for money is bad

beacuse it makes men mad

and generates tales whch are sad

of how crazy men act

in order to have money in their account

of great measure

the precious treasure

Remember,

wealth gotten by vanity

shall be diminished
