Keep the 'Change'

Can the world enunciate its feelings towards a volatile emptiness If we dared to visualize the frothing of inevitability's smile would it be enough Would the barriers, constructed by animosity's lament, listen to reason if dollar signs didn't taste so lustfully acidic How could we learn to build, if all we did was preach false pretenses If it is said that chasing your dreams would cost you dearly, why can't “wisdom” be soulfully freed of leather whipped wallets and just show us the way Could past-tensed smiles of the poor & meek, really embrace the poorly meek, presently? Does the alleged understanding of a broken, budgetary embrace, matter when they screw elaborated currencies? If their heart was in the right place, why do their crossed fingers point left...behind When will mind over matter, matter? If our veritable presence is welcomed with open arms, why would it be removed before one could say goodbye? Another "check", bounced... ...keep your "change". ©D.J.E.
