Oldest Motive, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
You didn’t have it
Before you were born
You’ll have no use for it
After you are gone
It is false comfort
To equate it to
Immortality
The ages due
It preys on envy
It preys on greed
It can cause
Many a dirty deed
It can create
Prisons too
To be of such wealth
Not to know, if friends are true.

Really food for thought here, Brian. I especially like the first verse –
You didn’t have it
Before you were born
You’ll have no use for it
After you are gone.
I guess you could apply that to many other things, too.
