Cash-Cha-Ching

The deceitfulness of money Lures people in Like a prostitute lures men It appears as a best friend But on its shoulder is Disrespect, arrogance, injustice And don’t forget it doesn’t lend It’s selfish an avaricious As it shows off its richness It trades its denomination for Big houses, big cars, trips and vacations And power Which has no patience It doesn’t wait It doesn’t sleep It thinks Who will I walk on next With my feet The feet that kick the poor because They’re in the way from it getting more It ignores the needs of those knocking at the Door Because wealth is the only thing it stores The deceitfulness of money Is like honey It’s sweet It meets All needs Just know That it only honors Greed
