D.H. Lawrence's "Money Madness" addresses what the speaker sees as increasing greed in our society and how we are growing mad as a result. Towards the end of the poem, the speaker talks about the injustice of anyone having to beg to eat and stay alive, and how hunger for more money will lead us to kill one another if we do not stop to think rationally.

The poet has admonished mankind entire mankind to change its perception
and outlook about money. The poet begins expressing his annoyance by terming man’s
attitude to money as ‘collective madness’. Each human being is ‘insane’ about
money.



He says man is so greedy and insecure about money that he
shudders spending even a pound note. He trembles when he has to spend a
ten-pound note. He feels money makes us quail.



Man is judged by the amount of money he has. People who have
more money, are respected more in the society. Those who have less money, they
are discriminated against. They are loathed by people, society, and the
government.



In order to save ourselves from being discriminated and live
respectfully, we must have enough money with us.



The poet’s wish about money is that bread, shelter, and fire
should be free for all in all parts of the world.



In the last stanza he appeals to all men and women that we
must become sane about handling money. If continue to be insane about money,
soon we shall start killing one another for money.
