Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Money on My Mind

Love of money, the Bible tells,

Is the root of all evil in

Thinking of humankind that dwells,

Causing faith to give way to sin.

So I figure that if I hate

Money so much that I stay poor,

And in my life, suffer ill fate,

My chances should be all the more

That when I die I'll get to go

Straight to heaven which I tell all

I panhandle from, this I know.

But on deaf ears my words do fall.

Hate of money in me does dwell.

Why am I told to go to hell?
