Best Buy Poems
Life is a pleasure with loyal friends
Otherwise faith in them shortly ends
Years of togetherness, trust and love
Add to the friendship and keep the vow
Lucky am I to have some friends for life
To guide and support me when in strife
Yes loyal friends can be husband and wife
Loyalty- no money can buy
It doesn't fall from the sky
It doesn't grow in open fields
Only from love loyalty yields

No one screams, no one shouts, no one to cry.
No sobbing wet cheeks or damp eyes to dry
No one to stop living, nor wish to die.
No one can deny both took the chance to try
No one need to ask the other the reason why.
No one dares think of how time took to fly.
No one stops the blank stares into the sky
No more rules and laws of love to comply.
No other words unspoken but "Sweet Goodbye".

D.J. Trump's face so pretty he won't mask it
~ Perhaps Melania ought to purchase a casket
Community talk is cheap
My brethren money's dirty
My sisters mothers of the Earth
Take none of this for granted
Talk is cheap
Yes it is you can talk your way out of almost anything
Talk is cheap but it takes money to buy land
Lies are cruel
Everybody plays a fool
My profession they live by the Golden rule
When someone is down
Don't leave them on the ground
Do not leave them
Detached and bearing and broken found
Yeah talk is cheap
You want everything this is deep
But my brother takes money to buy land
Their children do not leave them
These are children let us not merely say
that we love each other (always)
Let us show the truth by our actions for you see
If you really really want to help me
Waiting right here let me turn my head
And give you my ear cuz you see my brother
talk is cheap but it takes money to buy land

Isn't it funny how people see money
pieces of metal so very small
there's not a lot you can do
with a penny or two
money itself has really no uses at all
it used to be beads and once it was shells
at least you could wear them and buy or sell
how many have a dim view of money
pieces of paper so wafer-thin
there's not much you can fill with a note or a bill
money itself has very few ways it can thrill
its value is based on the bars of gold
buried in the basement of a bank
and whomever says whatever they're worth
is who we have thank
the root of all evil isn't money it's man
he'll wheel deal and steal to grab all he can
the more money he has the more money he needs
the root of all evil is mankind and his greed
Think,
Evolve
when walking,
take the right way,
You have the chance once,
one way ticket,
buy the best
for you,
One
Faith’s coronet trumpets my quest every day
searching the skies and the soul for a way
through ubiquitous mire, muck and mud
dodging arrows, bullets drones and Scuds
Persistence is its own reward, they say
though I can’t cook it, drive it, or put it to bed
Money is better than conversation
all those words that didn’t need to be said
Fools buy the glitter, wise men the gold
the world doesn’t stop ‘cos I’ve gotten old
More and more news and useless inventions
from folks with mostly good intentions…
Another generation now come and gone
failing once more to right all the wrongs
of a world that barely blinked at their presence
whose winds wailed, then whispered ‘evanescence’
When all of your hope hangs in a 2 percent
You set out on a mission to find out where the other 98 went
It lies in the hands of something sweet has honey
As dangerous as fire, of course its money
It brings you up and takes you down
It will buy you a fancy house in town
It will destroy your life if you don't have enough
You'll leave your wife when the getting is tough
You can buy things with it that are illegal without fail
but don't worry if you have enough it can get you out of jail
It can make you look pretty when your really not
It can get you out of winter and too a tropical spot
It can save you and give you an education
It can get you out of a sticky situation
It can buy fake affections and desires
It can rebuild things destroyed by fires
but unfortunately for some it has no affect on people who are real
People who have extreme emotions and can actually feel
To keep people in my life forever I would give my every penny
But honestly, I don't think I have that many.
Big house, three cars and shopping evryday. Materialism, socalisim and consumerism. Ism,
ism ,ism. Being in debt.
In the RED. Stressed out. Diamond rings, bling, bling , bling.
Bored and no hope. Greed and deceit.
Money dosen't by happiness.
Finn and Mcgee
went fishing once more
With the money they saved up all year
They rented a cabin
up by the lake
And filled it with fish bate and beer
For two weeks of fishing
They made it their mission
To wake up and start at first light
With poles in their hands
They hardly could wait
For a big fish to come up and bit
Day after day
They fished and they fished
but barely got even a nibble
Then on the last day
McGee caught a trout
That apparently wasn't so fickle
Now on the way Home
Finn said " McGee
You Know what this fish, has cost you----
---A thousand Quid"
"Well Finn, if it did
Then I glad I didn't catch two"
Jingle jingle jingle jingle

Just a commercial poem...
Not for the commercial contest , but thanks for the inspiration L.M
You can't buy my conscience
it worth more than a million
you can't buy my emotions
It is for my people.
I am for my people
Not for bribery and corruption
Which had feasted deep into the system.
I do not crave for foolish riches
Rather i work towards the success
Of my people who are dying silently in pain.
You can't buy me
And what i am made of
Through your sugar coated tongue.
I represent the image of the new birth
A new nation where honor and dignity abide
Where selfishness never exist
Rather love dwells day in day out.
i love to be remembered for good
Not for bad and ugly events
Where my children will not walk around freely
But as they go, they see the
Ugly fingers pointing at them for
Evils caused by their father
And wagging mouths accusing them wrongly .
So there fore, you can't buy me.
You lead a luxurious life, superior finance allows you to have a sense of grandiosity, people of a lower stature seem to fit the perfect mold for the term irrelevant,
like appendix,
but soon your wealth leads to vulnerability, standards become everything and the simple things in life no longer trigger your excitement,
so you begin to question your sobriety, maybe that is the answer,
little do you know dependency can be worse than cancer,
so you start off on the bottle, but that only provokes..
you to try something more potent, now your spending habits are more ubiquitous and basically you're poor..
but this all could have been avoided if you kept the attitude of the girl Next Door..
More comfortable
to cry in a mercedes
than on bicycle
I don't drain my bank account each and every Christmas
Only the ones who are close to me are on my short list
I get bombarded by Christmas adds day and night
There's buy this and buy that for a twelfth of my life
Is that the same woman that cut me off in the parking lot?
I had to park at Taco Bell, it made for quite a walk
I gave her a glance as she hurried along three kids
She was telling them to behave or they wouldn't get gifts
I caught them at the door and said "Merry Christmas"
She returned an evil stare and replied "Ya, is it?"
I watched her put them in the Santa Clause line
She bolted towards Macy's, as she shouted "quit whining"
