About this ebook
We are all so very desperate,
Desperate for money,
Desperate for all the things
We think we need to have.
Our desperation is our desolation.
What will be when it all ceases to last?

Desperate for Money
Copyright © 2015 by Jason Wallace
Money is what we keep searching our whole lives for.
You get enough
And then look for more.
I never have that much it seems.
It's always gone
Cuz it streams away from me.
Sure,
I'd have to say I have it good,
But I know that if I could get more...
I would.
I'm greedy.
It's not like you're not.
You get all you can get.
We're only needy
For the possessions we don't have yet.
We don't stop
To help the ones who really need help.
If anyone ask about our deeds,
We say we're fulfilling our needs...
When all
