Million Dollar Why Not a Billion Dollar

A million dollar does not go far Now a billion dollar will be able to share A poem that points to reality With simple words that give A point of view that does not sin Without complications of understanding A meaning of each star above Point to the sky where all the planets are A simple view to reach Normal people can understand A movement of modern ideas to bare Kept only to millions now given to billions A mass of proportion that eye can see Baring the length of words that can cross A land, the sky, and the barren sea Words are hard to say but money does A simple method that all have done Giving to others when cannot An obligation to our nations with trust Knowing that this poem can reach feelings A sharing method that we all have Bound by our gifts with a dollar bill A country can teach methods and skills Most people in the world has hard times A grieving heart is hard to heal But just one out of billions is a shield A hope of kindness a movement of ideals Comes a moment, a test of wills A certain people with humanity stand Wall that is invisible protects the land Almost done with all my words What is a million compared to a billion A document of silly distortion Just say a billion it's reasonable A modern symbol that we have changed Billions of stars full of land and water A chance in our future to expand Why fight for more when more is out there A simple thought, yet cannot understand Our minds are set and we have met A life of looking far beyond Beyond the millions and billions of stars And we have people here that are Our hope and guide to make peace A word from our star could be good With words that could pause time A moment that all people may see That each and everyone’s worth A million, no a billion dollars or stars So this poem is just to say, hi! World A word or two is all I can do Because I hope I reached all of you A message with love that is true Reynaldo L. Mast
