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
