I recently heard a preacher say that our nation no longer worshiped God but worshipped money instead. I was reminded of a poem in Calvin Miller’s book A Requiem for Love.
Here is the poem:
A beggar asked a millionaire,
“How many more dollars
Would it take to
Make you truly happy?”
The millionaire,
Reaching his gnarled hands
Into the beggar’s cup, replied,
“Only one more!”
