You will serve God, or you will serve gold.
Make your contrary assertions ever so bold,
And claim the truth has not been told.
But the love of money is the root of all evil,
The love of gold leads directly to the devil.
Gold can be shaped in various known forms,
It can appear average, or far from the norms,
One is pulled to the sciences, another to the arts,
One is lulled to amalgamations, one leaves things in parts,
One seeks gold directly, another seems it to “hate,”
But gold’s the one attraction of sinners, early or late,
And, you will serve God, or you will serve gold. – eab, 5/21/08
