MONEY TALKS
By Rick Beaty, Army
Writing Type: Poem
I've heard it said that money talks
l thought that might be true,
So I listened to a nickel
But didn't hear one thing new.
While listening to that nickel
I lost my train of thought,
And then before I knew it
l just about got caught.
Caught up in a society
Where freedom bells still. ring,
But found in a society
That made its money king.
That nickel spoke of liberty
I heard that was a must,
I also heard that nickel sav
The words. ""'In God We Tru:-;t.""
Five pennies are a nickel
Two nickels are a dime,
But money isn't everything
And that I found in time.
Money can't buy happiness
That lasts a lifetime through,
Only the good Lord Jesus Christ
Gives happiness that's true.
But really it isn't happiness
It's joy that fills the heart,
When Jesus is in residence there
Life is a work of art.
