Best Philosophymoney Poems
What are the measures of success?
What makes one stand on high?
Is it money in excess
With the power that money can buy?
Is it the social standing
Of being known by one and all?
Is it your power of commanding?
Or lording it over one and all?
Is it getting a promotion?
Or having the means to promote?
Or oratorically create a commotion?
Or having time to spirituality to devote?
Is it freedom to indulge in frank-speak
And ne'er be cowed down by others?
Is it the time when you stop to seek
And become a keeper of thy brother?
None of the above is a reality
It’s all a great big sham!
Peace unto oneself speaks of quality,
A realization of I am what I am!
My goal is to control the world economy.
I'll accomplish this by being the one with the most money.
Once I have the most money I then will be
the most powerful individual absolutely.
I'll then have the power to create worthless money
and distribute it worldwide and crush the global economy.
Survival of the fittest is what will then be
perhaps combined with a Live and Let Live philosophy.
In any event, money will then be history.
People Helping People will then motivate our economy.
Hopefully.
Studyin' money make a man weep
studyin' bout what he can't keep
cause ol' Uncle Sam's been studyin' too
come along and take it away from you.
Studyin' bout nuthin' if you don't know how
to shear a sheep or milk a cow
just what good is what you know
if you ain't got young'uns to show
where to find a ginsing patch
or how to build a fire without a match.
With a head full of studyin' not a thing
to make your soul to sing
like makin' a banjo (ya done forgot)
or whittlin' a toy for a tiny tot,
and eatin' home cookin' from a garden plot.
What folks is studyin' today
is how to cheat on the games they play
with other folks money or cheatin'
on their honey who's been a meetin'
another when she said she were a-studyin'.
Nope, I think I'll just sit here 'n study the sky
and hope the Good Lord by and by
finds a moment to take me on home
and someday somebody'll be studyin' my bones.
