Money

Money means nothing

Yet it brings you food and shelter 

Money means nothing

Yet it creates war and poverty

Money means nothing

Yet it divides people in a class ridden society

Money means nothing

Yet people make it their number one priority

Money means nothing

Yet this whole world is built around it

Money still means nothing

But the illusion of power

Like a magic powder 

Raining down on the Twin Towers

As war and revenge tears up this whole world in half

For money means nothing but an act of violence and rage

For money means nothing but a simple question

How much possession do you have?

For money means nothing but a means to an end

Politicians seek it to win

As people manifest their will to live 

They walk together, each picking the best leader who will

Make their lives better for their family

But money means nothing to the future leader

But a means to win power

Money means nothing but a scream

A cry for help in areas where it's hard to live

For without money you can't eat

As some roll over their king size beds 

Lonely and messy

A stack of green colored rectangle pieces of paper 

Is laying beside them like a teddy bear

As some walk a thousand miles to drink water 

Feeling like no one even cares

Money means nothing

Yet it means everything

To the world

It comes before human rights and colors

It comes before intuition and soul

It comes in a demented circle

And there are no exit doors

It uses your survival instinct 

To try to destroy the very last drop of your being

Then if you let fire consumes oxygen

Your shell is destroyed along with everything inside it

For money means nothing and everything
