Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

The Poet's Market Or the Stock Market?

The world of money is still there
        Beating its way 
into one's  brains
Poetry is fluff
    omnipresent dollar
But still.....
A few lines can touch 
the Jewish Soul, the Christian soul,
the atheist and agnostic soul
So if you get the 
    chance
Write or listen to a poem
