Over MoneyA Poem by Latonya HughesWhat people will do for the almighty dollar...Some people would kill, Over money... Some people are slain, Over money... Some people would cheat, Utilizing deceit, When attempting to gain: More money. Some people would lie, To have money... Some people would die, To have money... Some win, and most lose… Some use and abuse, And the answer to why: To have money. We do evil deeds, To make money... In an infinite greed, To make money; As revenue flows, The appetite grows… Incessant, the need, To make money. The banks make profit With our money... With investors pocketing Our money; The rich become richer, The poor become poorer, Yet, they expect more of: Our money. The downfall I see, Due to money... Is humanity's fee Due to money: Enslaved, are all we... Afraid to break free; When will this world be, Over money?-spokenhues
