The Mall In Hell

Follow the money
maybe somewhere 
far, far away
hidden, divided
follow the money

lips that can't speak
eyes that will not see
ears that have forgotten
how it came to be

retirement can be long
time to pad the nest
living the lifestyle
must have the best

take it all
who will tell
spend it wisely
at the mall in hell

Great poem!!! We spend too much time on material things and not spiritual things. BRAVO!

Most of us have a spending weakness! I like your frank approach :)
