Wealth Can Do And.....Wealth Can Not Do

SAIKAT KUMAR DUTTA
Wealth can allow you to buy food,
But can't bring your real mood,
Wealth can allow you to buy shirts,
But it can't join two human hearts.

Wealth can give you lots of satisfaction,
But can't give you the actual realization,
Wealth can make some relations rust,
But it can't easily gain one's trust.

Wealth can allow you to buy bed,
But it can't make a wise head,
Wealth can buy a dress made up of silk,
But can't provide a baby his mother's milk.

Wealth can change your daily lifestyle,
But can't create a lovely innocent smile,
Wealth can provide you a business gain,
But it can't heal your mind pain.

Wealth can make a body sterile,
But can't make a body fertile,
Wealth can show you an artificial view,
But can't detach me forever from you.

    Money is nice to have, but, you're so right. There's much it can't do.
