On Money and Being Money-Minded (Dr. Anna Sekhar)

1.
When you are all about money
You know and see no other virtue;
You hear and listen nothing good;
You want and care not a damn about 
the benevolence and good qualities
Of that human, whose money is of 
paramount importance to you. 
May be true if you are young; but, 
as you grow older going behind money 
and craving for more, makes you lòok  
money-minded than a practical human.

2.
When you have pots of money
And no peace of mind.
When you have absolute richness
And no divinity in your home.
When you have material wealth
And no real happiness in front.
When you have a palatial home
And no one near you for a support.
When you have a flowing income
And none to care for, remember,
Your money means nothing and 
Your money is of very little use.

3.
When you breathe and smell money,
When you are covered with money,
When you think nothing but money;
When you attach a dollar value to all,
When your associations are based on money,
When you scoff people with less money,
You know not who is true to you;
You know not a person's worth and
You will never know who comes to 
your rescue because your judgement
Is going to be entirely wrong.

4.
When you enjoy the company of money,
When you think money is your best friend;
When you feel money will get you everything,
When you believe money gives you that peace of word;
When you imagine money is the only powerful weapon,
When you trust money to empower you  
with all that you ask for,
Remember, you are grossly mistaken.
Money can get you only to a point; 
you also need people true to you by your side.
You are clearly not! When you have plotted 
against me along with others,
When you have instigated malice, 
you claim to be special?

5.
If you believe money can get you everything,
If you believe money is your best friend,
If you believe money gives you power,
If you believe money satisfies your need,
If you believe money elevates your status,
If you believe money earns you a name,
You also need to believe that you are
in a world of materialism and illusion. 
You are in a world of greed where,
nothing can satisfy you and you 
are a person untrustworthy of any true company. 
You will leave a good friend for 
someone who flashes more money to you.

6.
When you empower money in your life 
to direct, guide and command you;
When you allow money to determine 
your company of people and worth;
When you grant money that unfettered 
access to gauge who can be a part of your group;
When money becomes your true 
companion unlike a human;
It is time you realise you are enslaved 
by money and have become its addict.
Not many will come near you showing 
love and care; many will come knowing 
you have pots of money.

7.
When money determines your life,
When money chooses your friendships,
When money makes you different,
When money changes your words,
When money corrupts your head,
When money plays into your heart,
Remember, your life is no more in 
your control but it is being controlled !
Who is true and sincere to you will become 
overt if you were to lose some 
or all of your money; respect money 
but do not become an addict to it. 
People may forgive your ruthlessness 
when you had money but they will not 
forget your words and actions!
