Everywhere, anywhere, whatever you want, Money

But where is the Money to spend?

Health and education matters

Food and transport

Night and day

Church and Mosque

In the Lord's name you're needed everywhere

Life is tough without you

Nothing comes easy without you.

Money O! where are you?

You are as hard as a nut to crack

Without you our problems are like my mother's

Paying beads

Will you desert the commoners like that?

They search

They count

They wait

They cry

Yet their is life of beaded needs
