Dreams Money Can Buy - 3/28/13 (started this way back in Summer '12...just never finished it)

It seems we all have dreams that money can buy...
But no matter how honest the dreams, money can lie.
Dreams require attention, and money can vie;
Nothing material brings happiness, but money can try.
The joy is in the purchase, not in the possession.
Victims of avarice have to go broke to learn this lesson.
Happiness is priceless, and so is a vision.
Even if the dream is as shallow as a stream, fulfillment takes precision.
Dedication and practice make the mind accurate.
Pinpointing a goal is the only way to go after it.
However, money can turn a dream into an oasis.
Greed fuels illusions of grandeur,
Which can blind you of what your true destination is.
And that's how we end up with dreams that money can buy....
Avarice blurs all of the lines, but money can eye.
We try to come to our senses, but money can spy,
And It'll turn our focus green with envy; money can dye.
Dreams should be private, but money can pry.
Dreams require diligence, and money can ply.
Nothing material brings happiness, and money can try,
But when it comes time for a dream to be grounded by faith,
Money WILL fly.
