In The Palace of Money

In the Palace

of Money

Money-every human works-

in your courtyard,
few are your friends,
everyone searches for you,
a nugatory finds you,
every soul wants you,
but a deminimis you choose
every time.

Money-everyone knows you,
but a few have you,
in your temple mankind worship
daily,
in your cloister mankind gather
for instruction,
in every piazza-people do
obeisance before you,
in corral-veneration from man-
not far from you.

Desire for you-eye set
rolling,
love for you takes root from
the heart,
hunger and thirst for you
mind pursue ferociously.

From sunrise to sunset,

Money! Money! Money!
every soul keep shouting
about you,
in the rain-you drench souls-
in sweltering afternoon heat,
sweat you draw from man
without pity.


Power you wield on every
living soul,
great influence over
everything,
terror you unleash on
have nots,
gain and pain to your owners.

Permanent friends-you don’t have-
enemies you create at will,
pride and haughtiness-throne-
you sit to rule over humanity,
cupidity shortcut to your palace,
corruption beeline to your abode.

Blood-you shed every time-
insofar your barns are filled to brim,
war-you cause and  blood-tainted
business you promote,  
morality-you define
by convenience-
advantages-you take
on the weak.

Money,

M-May

O-Opportunity

N-Never

E-Elude

Y-You;

definition with meaning and

purpose,

you made mankind change to:

M-More

O-Oppression

N-No

E-Equity

Y-(for) You.
