It Seems Money Rules the World

It seems money rules the world.
If you have it, you are bold.
And if you don’t, you are nobody;
For the man with money is considered somebody.
He is respected; he is talked about.
His speeches and actions are taken without any doubt.

It seems money rules the world.
If a country has it, the country is bold.
It erects the sky-touching towers.
It sits among the world’s superpowers.
It polices around the globe.
It invents the ash-making glove.

It seems money rules the world.
But in the deep corners of my heart a belief I hold:
There are the things bigger than the money;
In the world they actually have monopoly.
What is seemed is not always true.
If you follow your heart, you will see the real hue.

USA is worst then your country. 3% of population control 90% of the wealth. It is a rich man world today. But it isn't working. Poor countries are getting stronger and the rich countries are going bankrupt. Soon the rich countries will taste bad days. The poem open the door to a large conversation. I tell people. Take what you need and be happy. Greed lead us to no-where. Thank you for the excellent poem.

You speak such absolute truth. It just makes you think how shameful and disappointing some people are in this world. I loved the topic you tackled and how everyone can see the honesty and the reality of your piece.
