**Money**

Is money the source of power, or is power derived from money?
People around the world work tirelessly to gain its favor.
Some find temporary connections through it.
Many, however, face lasting ruin because of it.
Its allure is as mysterious as that of sex.
It can both build and break relationships.
Those who have it often carry themselves with confidence.
Power is measured by it. The lazy consider the foolish wise due to it.
It can grant strength and courage to the weak. It can elevate a few while ridiculing the many based on appearances.
It responds to no one yet adheres to the principles upheld by all.
