(The poem in my own words)
Money takes possessions, it can destroy forts without a blow;
Money attracts all,
Money shows us people true nature.
Like the Good, and Truth like lies: although Money can’t provide
Youth, and health, and Paradise.

Money can make a good party, money buys alcohol, and a place to sleep;
Make people look good,
Money wins fame, allows countries to protect itself with soldiers, it make women luv dat money(and Ricky Bobby) although Money can’t provide
Youth, and health, and Paradise.

Money buy the church;
Money corrupts, it buys needs and supplies:
Although Money can’t buy.
Youth, and health, and Paradise

His main point is money of course, but he expresses how people only do things for money and turn greedy with it. For example, a priests are mean to show people that Jesus died for our sins and should be teaching for people’s salvation, not just
