MONEY <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br /> <br />Less is the significance. <br />And the importance, <br />Of one's quality of life. <br />Once the having of money, <br />And the affect of it... <br />Became the impression, <br />One wanted to make. <br />To flaunt and have it, <br />And from their pockets drip! <br /> <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br /> <br />And the satisfaction teased, <br />Would increase with a taste... <br />For more of it. <br />Until those not having it, <br />Were quickly despised. <br />And with character assassinations... <br />There became a rise of ruined lives, <br />With deciet, lies and alibis! <br /> <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br /> <br />Drifting in mental fits, <br />Are those today being weened away from it. <br />Crazed in protests... <br />With voices raised demanding, <br />And with their minds splitting into pieces! <br />A feeding of greed has done this. <br />At the expense of their consciousness! <br /> <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br /> <br />And just like addicts! <br />They can not live without that fix! <br /> <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br /> <br />They want yours and mine! <br />And anything that looks like it! <br /> <br />MONEY <br />MONEY <br />MONEY<br /><br />Lawrence S.
