Money

Silly paper,

If we don't have you, we're squanderers

If we have too much of you, we're lavish

If we don't share you, we're selfish

If we give you away, we're generously foolish

You can help us make our potential it's fullest

Or you can be absolutely ruthless

Thousands of hands passing you around

Circling the earth, round and round

They call you money, legal tender

But to me you are just

Silly paper.

Author's Note

Fairly new to poetry!
