Money isn’t everything but getting it is our ambition
because it’s way a head of whatever’s in second position.
Money acts just like a key – it opens many doors.
Those with quantity are considered to be top-drawer.
Flash your cash (or credit) and, whatever you think you need,
like magic it will appear with simply amazing speed.
So whether you call it cha ching or clams or dead presidents
just understand the power it wields with this planet’s residents.
Maybe it can’t buy happiness but we all know the score.
It’s easier to be unhappy when you’re down and poor.

Lot of truth in that Ken! I don't doubt it's why so many people are in massive amounts of debt as they try to buy themselves happiness!!
Excellent write!

Thank you dear... I believe that happiness can't be bought but if I hit the lottery, I'm damn sure gonna try!

True, and such a shame too. I have always wanted to live 'before' money was invented, and we all lived in little communities with tent-like thingys and wells for water. And I will give you a years worth of eggs if you give me one of your cows. *sigh*
Nice write.
