Life of Money

Money
influences everything
except your emotions
taking over
my state of mind
like dictatorship
color black, why is it
I fear the future.
Mama tell me she cant
holding up too long
Eviction,
Like a slap on the face
My family worked so hard
but so far to go
money swallows the faith
makes people hate
in that upset state
i just wish
that one day comes peace on earth
but that wont come
till the earth is in pieces.
