Money is an integral part of modern life, a driver of progress and a source of many opportunities, but also a source of disappointment and conflict. It can bring freedom and independence, but it can also enslave and deprive one of peace. In the poems collected on this page, we attempt to look at money from various perspectives: as a temptation, as a tool, as a symbol of power, and as an illusion of happiness. Poets from different eras and styles have reflected on the role of money in human destiny, and their voices resonate in these lines.

Specie
It glitters like copper, sparkles like silver, jingling softly in your pocket. It buys freedom, and beckons to ruin the soul. But there's no happiness in it, only deception, a mirage that fades into the distance. True wealth is warmth, loyalty, and good days.
Shadow of Gold
In pursuit of gold, people lose themselves, their feelings, their dreams, and their peace. The power of money is a blinding illusion, and the heart becomes as if alien. They build palaces, but they are empty and cold, and friendship and love are just goods for sale. They live in wealth, but their souls are lonely, and they know no happiness, even in luxury. Forgetting the simple, nature, and faith, captive to coins, they perish inside. And gold falls like a shadow on the heart, depriving them of hope, love, and dawn.
Paper God
The bills rustle, beckon and call, the paper god, ruler of the world. In his hands are power and comfort, and the wicked lyre of our lives. He rules us, commands us, and imprisons our hearts in a cage. But he devalues true value, and enslaves our souls.
The price of a dream
A dream has a price, everyone knows that, and often that price is hard cash. But can happiness be bought with a wallet? Or will the soul remain unnoticed? We waste our lives chasing money, forgetting what's truly important: friendship, love, the bright flame that burns in the heart like a winter blizzard. And now the dream that once beckoned, captive to money, loses its luster. And life passes like an elusive moment, chasing illusory, false progress.
Coins of Destiny
They throw coins into the dark water, making wishes in silence. Hoping for a miracle, for the generous freedom that money will bring to their destiny. But fate is not sold for gold, It is woven from the threads of love and kindness. And happiness cannot be bought; it is like lightning, It will light up in the soul when the time comes.
The Golden Cage
In a golden cage sits a man, surrounded by luxury and power. But in his heart lies only melancholy and sin, and loneliness, a terrible affliction. He can buy whatever he desires, but he cannot buy himself friends. And in this cage he dies, forgotten by all, in the glare of lights. Wealth is but an illusion of freedom, when the soul is captive to gold. And true happiness lies in the simplicity of the people, in love and faith that is eternally young.
The rustle of banknotes
The rustle of banknotes is a deceptive sound, It beckons, calls, but gives no peace. In pursuit of them, a friend is lost, And life passes like a moment, unearthly. They are only a means, not an end in themselves, And happiness cannot be bought with hard cash. True wealth is in the soul, believe me, In love, in friendship, in good advice.
The power of money
Money is power, it is strength, It can move mountains and seas. But this power is both treacherous and sweet, And often leads to bitter sorrow. It corrupts, destroys, and lies, And poisons the soul with the venom of envy. And in pursuit of it, people live, Forgetting about goodness, honor, and truth. But remember that money is just a tool, And how to use it is up to you. Use it for good, rest assured, And you will find happiness in your destiny.
The ringing of coins
The ringing of coins is like a song of deception. It beckons, it calls, but gives no warmth. In pursuit of them, a life of deception, and the heart freezes like a rock. They are but dust, a mirage in the desert, and there is no happiness in them, only an empty dream. True wealth is in the soul, in a picture, kept in the heart like pure water.
The price of silence
Sometimes silence is more precious than gold, When the truth can hurt and kill. But money can buy freedom, And the right to remain silent. It can make you forget your conscience, And betray your ideals and friends. And in this race for wealth and power, Lose yourself, become just a shadow of yourself. But remember that honor and dignity Are more precious than any treasure on earth. And true happiness lies in justice, In the love and faith that live within you.
Paper wings
Paper wings, a beckoning flight, Money is like a bird that gives freedom. But often behind them lies oppression, And the heart yearns in a cold shelter. They can lift you to the top, But they can also cast you into a bottomless abyss. And in this game where routine reigns, It's easy to lose yourself, like one.
Golden Idol
A golden idol, cold and stern, demands sacrifices, knowing no mercy. People are in its power, as on a dark road, and their happiness is but a mirage, a mere deception. They worship it, forgetting that true wealth lies in the soul. And in this pursuit of gold, playing, they lose themselves, as in a winter wilderness. But remember, the idol is but a piece of metal, and its power is but an illusion, a mere dream. True happiness lies in love and beginnings, in goodness and the faith that endures forever.
Coin shine
The glitter of coins is a deceptive light, It beckons, it calls, but gives no rest. In pursuit of it, the trail is lost, And life passes like a moment, unearthly. They are only a means, not an end in themselves, And happiness cannot be bought with hard cash. True wealth is in the soul, believe me, In love, in friendship, in good advice.
The weight of gold
The weight of gold weighs on the shoulders, It fetters the soul and mind. In pursuit of it, people are careless, And life passes like a bitter noise. They forget about simple joys, About friendship, about love, about the bright day. And in this race for wealth and power, They lose themselves, as in the winter darkness. But remember that true wealth Is in the soul, in the heart, in love and kindness. And happiness cannot be bought with gold or brotherhood; It comes on its own, in its own destiny.
Echo of coins
The echo of coins is an empty and dull sound, It reminds us of lost time. In pursuit of them, life is only deception and torment, And the heart yearns in a cold burden. They are but dust, a mirage in the desert, And there is no happiness in them, only an empty dream. True wealth is in the soul, in a picture, Which is kept in the heart like pure water.
