Lust for Money

Happiness doesn't start with money. Silver and gold doesn't satisfy the soul. Covered in gift wrap and tied with a little bow. Yet and still it fails to cover and heal the lack that people never show. Cash works for simple things like gas, rent and purchasing a wedding ring. But it can never buy love. It provides all the shiny objects we can think of... Let the light bounce off surfaces and twinkle in dim eyes. But it never penetrates the darkness inside. It's just the luster of money.

Future Generations

People forgot about the young children 

Looking up to them 

Waiting for them to make a move 

That would change their lives 

Hoping that they take the right steps 

And hold their money tight 

While investing in business that take flight 

Let the future generations come to mind 

When you work 

There's no use in providing a roof for comfort 

If your assets have no worth 

Put the children first 

Why not save for college? 

Don't avoid the rainy day fund 

Some people will frivolously spend their money 

While others will hold off 

On having uncalculated fun 

Consider tomorrow 

Because time waits for no one 

Value the moments that the world can't see 

The work is done  

While easy going people are sleeping 

 

Love always, Esha  <3

Grocery Store Prices

The cart fills up with the splendor of groceries galore. But the cost has increased to ridiculous heights. Zucchini, cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, celery, peaches, apples, grapes, pears, lemons, cherries, luncheon meat, turkey, chicken, frozen pizza, onion dip, chips, guacamole, french bread all for the low price of $159. Take me back in time, let’s rewind to the days before the pandemic slump. Things weren’t perfect but living was affordable. And you could spend 10 dollars for lunch. Now 3 jobs aren’t enough. Keeping children in running schools are tough. Throwing quarters into a bottomless pit hoping the money swells. But even on your toughest days, remember all is well.

Love always, Esha
