A Golden God

Money has conquered humanity. It has made 
man blind and created insanity. Finally, the 
truth can be told: money has made mankind 
callous and cold. 

It has taken a long time for money to destroy
man's mind. It has pushed our common sense
 aside and replaced it with a lie. 

Humanity has given money full control while it
 has stolen humanity's very heart and soul. No 
longer does mankind think that we can survive
 without money and stay alive.

Money has conquered mankind's life. It has
stolen day and night. It has put the imagination
 on hold to only seek out platinum, silver, and
 gold.

It has started wars and conflicts among mankind.
 It has truly driven us out of our minds. There might
 be no way back to where we all should be at--a 
place where peace and love rule the day. A place
where good will and love have their way.
 
Now, money is being abused and causing mankind
to have a short fuse. The vision of the future has become
 black, The lack of money is the reason for that. If there 
was enough money to go around the world would 
stand on solid ground.  

Finally, it brings us days full of fear and frustration and
anxiety is found everywhere. People falling in poverty hold
exchanging paper for what was once gold. The middle class
has become the new poor, the poor reaction is chaos and 
war

Finally, mankind has been brought and sold for paper
representing silver and gold. It is so very odd that
 mankind now worships a fake but paper and golden
 god.
