Those monsters

I hate loosing my friends to monsters,
the monsters that change people and rot their hearts,
the ones that change them to the point of no return,
the ones that steal from me,
I hate those monsters,

No, I am not talking about
jealousy and envy,
those I know how to deal with,
those two ate so many people out of my life,
I don't even budge with them,
I just walk away the
moment I notice them,

But the monsters of money,
that give people illusion that they have power
with that money,
the ones that give people illusion that
they are better than someone just
because temporarily they can buy
expensive things,
those monsters I hate...

Because with those monsters
things come only temporarily,
unlike jealousy and envy,
those are permanent illnesses that
one possesses no matter how much
money and power they have,

But power and money...
they are only temporarily but
can ruin your friendships forever
if you let them,

Some say you know your true
friends in time of need,
Not me,
I look for my  true friends
when they gain some money and
blindly think they have power...
