OH MONEY GOD


 
 
Oh money god

How powerful thou art

Thou art the most powerful god I know.

Thou taketh away every feeling

Except power,

Thou taketh away all love

Except thine.

thou separatest not blood from oil;

Only father from mother,

Sister from brother,

Friend from another.

Lead us not into the temptation

Of giving you away,

Least we learn

How powerful

thou really are
