Money

A horrendous face 
Under a smiling mask
In many ways comes it 
Metal, Paper, Digital 

Causing all problems 
Solving all problems 
The greatest deceiver 
Cleaning and creating messes 

A real illusion 
Turning brother against brother 
And sister against the other 
Demanding to be used 
In whatever manner it deems fit

But only those with a strong will
Have the power to master it
But even these strongs 
Sometimes fall to the lust of its beauty

Joshua.. Tonight, the mountain sky is clear. In a few hours the stars will tease me with their winks. The twilight is for your poem, and it's as enjoyable as the coming sunset!
