Monetary Net Value

I proclaim you of value
Not because you possess me
But because I am the symbol 
Of your imagined needs 
From the world

If you don't have me in your life 
You will suffer

If you have me in your life 
You will look on others who don't
Watch them die
And you will suffer

Believe in me
Cherish the freedom 
Only I can give you

Fix your gaze on me
And never look away
I am your only hope
For a just and better world

Powerful write, Yoni. This one speaks with so much wisdom and it flows as gentle as a soft summer breeze. Very well done. Smiles from Lolita
