Man cannot love and serve both these masters: God and mammon (Money). “…For the love of money is the root of all evil.” This author seaches the origins of the “root of evil,” and what “the love of money” is – that is…, what money’s love is that makes it the “root.” This author looks into what money – personified – loves.

…For the love of money is the root of all evil…

The Love of Money is satan and sin,,

These, the root, the originators, of all evil,

As God’s Love is obedience, faithfulness…

If sin and satan are the root of…, all evil,

Then Money’s Love is satan, and its desire is sin,

Money is satan’s secret lure to entice sin therewith,

Therefore, use Money that it might sow God’s Way;

“Food and raiment let us be therewith content…”

Not enough…, some say, let us have more,

We desire all that the world offers,

To Money and its Love, these say:

Drown us in destruction and perdition,

Tempt us, snare us, lead us into temptation,

Though we pierce ourselves with sorrows…

(As they He, in hatred, with the ignorant sword).

As Eden’s river, Piton, pursues it, do we,

Let us err and lose our first faith for its sake…

Secondly, money answers all things…

God’s gifts…, faith…, as Simon, we will pay for it!

Not as Baptist, not as Catholic, not as Jew…,

But by that we worship, let us be named, Mammonists…

All disappointment, in our pursuit is no satisfaction,

For our master falls short of its man-made glory;

Evil uses money as a weapon to discord mankind,

World powers use nuclear weapons to hold peace,

Destruction is in the button and fastest trigger-finger;

Money, the Big Lie, is satan’s baby, his scheme,

Disguised as the answer, it is annihilation’s child,

In it is delayed destruction, reaching generations…

Money’s fruit is known by the seed it bears,

Let us not bear money’s love or its desire.
