LEGAL TENDER*

*Why is it so?*
Everyone pray to have you;
But not all can have you.
Some don't stress to have you;
Yet they have you.


You make the elder serve the younger;
You make the younger pride himself over the elder.
You give one what he wants;
You debar another from what he needs.
*Why, I mean why is it so?*

One knows the right things to do;
But without you, nothing can be done.
You're a powerful charm;
You save one from shame.
You put another into shame
*Why, I mean why is it so?*

Poverty becomes history when one has you;
Poverty engulfs one's households when one lacks you.
*Why, I mean why is it so?*

The wise ones ideas are useless without you;
The foolish ones brags because he has you.
You facilitate friendship;
You're the enmity.
*Why, I mean why is it so?*

You can buy almost everything;
But you can't buy joy
You can do so many things;
But you can't do all things.
You can buy the whole world;
But you can't buy heaven.
*Why, I mean why is it so?*

*I need you; yes, I need you.
*To do the right things at the right time
