Learn from ME.

IN THE PALACE OF MONEY

Money-every human works-

in your courtyard,

few are your friends,

everyone searches for you,

a nugatory finds you,

every soul wants you,

but a deminimis you choose

every time.

Money-everyone knows you,

only a few have you,

in your temple mankind worship

daily,

in your cloister mankind gather

for instruction,

in every piazza-people do

obeisance before you,

in corral-veneration from man-

not far from you.

Desire for you-eye set

rolling,

love for you takes root from

the heart,

hunger and thirst for you

mind pursue ferociously.

From sunrise to sunset,

Money! Money! Money!

every soul keep shouting

about you,

in the rain-you drench the soul-

in sweltering afternoon heat,

sweat you draw from man

without pity.

Power you wield on every

living soul,

great influence over

everything,

terror you unleash on

have nots,

gain and pain to your owners.

Permanent friends-you don’t have-

enemies you creates at will,

pride and haughtiness-throne-

you sit to rule over humanity,

cupidity shortcut to your palace,

corruption beeline to your abode.

Blood-you shed every time-

insofar your barns are filled to brim,

war-you cause and blood-tainted

business you promote, 

morality-you define

by convenience-

advantages-you take

on the weak.

Money,

M-May

O-Opportunity

N-Never

E-Elude

Y-You;

definition with meaning and

purpose,

you made mankind change to:

M-More

O-Oppression

N-No

E-Equity

Y-(for) You.
