If Money Had a Voice

Hi I’m an object a very small special object and my name… well …my name is NOT important!

I have been called many things.

Just know I am the most powerful object in the world because 
You humans agreed that I’m important.
So important in fact that you humans practically worship me!

You humans do what ever you must to just to have possession of me.

Even if it means hurting and mistreating each other.

However, little do you realize that it is I who has possession over you. Your whole life existence revolves around me.

There is nowhere you can go
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can have 
Without me.

Even-though I am not a living sentient being your validation and admiration of me brought me to life.

Don’t blame me for being me.
You humans made me what I am.
