What can money buy?
Chloe gadison

What can money buy? 
Better yet, what can’t money buy?
Better yet, WHO can’t money buy? 
Money can buy you a president
And a government to go with.
Money can buy you a politician
You decide a country's fate. 
Money can buy you an iIsland
Where you can invite all the celebrities. 
Money can buy you a wife
Or maybe just a street whore. 
Money can buy you a child
Although some call that adoption. 
Money can buy you silence
Good old Hush Money. 
Money can buy you a lawyer 
The rich never go to jail. 
Money can buy anything in the world. 
Morals
Love
Time
Happiness
Dignity 
Necessities.
Money, Money, Money. 
You would think it makes our Earth spin 
The way money makes our world go round.
