![]() Over MoneyA Poem by Latonya Hughes![]() What 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
