Money Is Something Poem by Hebert Logerie

Money is something
But opportunity is everything
Time is something
But money is not everything
Money is a sign of success and prosperity
But good health is everything
Everything is temporary
But there's no millionaire in the cemetery
Money will always stay behind
So if you have a lot of money, be kind
You came on earth nude
And you shall return with a somber mood
Wearing your best robe, your best suit
What a waste! Since like an ordinary fruit
You'll be spoiled, decomposed and rotten
The black or white body will not go to heaven
Great wealth is really nothing
But good health is everything.
