The Chains of Money
This soliloquy reflects on how money can limit our dreams and how it has become the measure of success in life. It reminds us that although money may be necessary for certain things in life, it should never be our ultimate goal or purpose as it will not bring true happiness or fulfillment.

A gold coin with a chain wrapped around it.
Ah, money! That cursed bane of life, That binds us all in chains so tight. The moment those words are uttered, “We have no money”, Our children cringe in shame and fright. Money has become the measure of our lives, It decides what we can do and where we go. Our dreams are now limited by its price, And with it comes a feeling of woe. I heard my eldest son say his dream was to be rich one day, And I thought that meant I had done well as a parent indeed. But alas! Money is only a means to an end, not the goal itself; For without true happiness it is all for naught and nothing else.
