Economic Hunger

Save your excuses, say no more I’ve heard everyone; all thousand and four I can no longer hear you; I’m deaf in both ears Drained of emotions, unable to shed any tears I’ve lost the appeal of attraction to you You’re simply a name, without any rue Greed and hunger devouring you alive How will you manage, you haven’t the drive? You say it will all be worth it finally in the end As I suffer alone, without your hand to lend Moneys what matters, not the love that we hold Let’s buy what we can, before we get too old More precious trinkets and toys to satisfy your need Of a monetarily obsession of lustful economic greed How much more do you need, will this reign ever end? Your tyranny of wealth thus far and ability and need to spend At what price did we suffer for your insatiable plausible pose? A beautiful fairytale love affair disappearing as we inevitably close I hope your appetite for gain was worth it and hunger you feel no more For the price you paid was solitude as your family painfully walks out the door © Stacy Lynn Stiles
