" When Money Laughs And Cries"

Money laughs in the daylight,
Showing off like it owns the
Block.

Every dollar retains a joke
And a bruise. 

Quick to bless, quicker to
Bite,

It shifts moods like weather 
On a bad street. 

But after hours it cries quietly 

Remembering every soul it eluded.

This small god with moods
Keeps moving-

Blessing, breaking never
Staring long.
