Cliche Confusion

They say "money makes the world go round" I really don't understand 
I thought it was a magnetic field not something made by man 

They say "don't count your chickens before they begin to hatch" 
but what if my eggs came........... from a totally different batch?

They say "what goes around comes around" I'm just a little bit confused 
How can I use the same fire cracker when I already lit the fuse?

They say "what goes up must come down" but what if its in outer-space??
Does Newton's law of gravity come back and smack us in the face??

They say "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach"
This seems like a very hard task, and isn't it true to reach the stomach 
the heart at first you must pass???

They say "beauty is only skin deep" what does that really mean?
Is it because we bathe with soap that our pores are really clean?

All these quotes and cliches and the all around play on words 
got me all confused I think its just absurd 

But I can't blame anyone I can only blame myself 
I should of picked up the thesaurus thats been sitting on my shelf

Money....

Money….


What can you do with money?
Well let’s stop and think; Money can buy you all the stilettos or marble sinks
A new Bentley fully chromed and tricked out
With the rims sitting 26 inches and you’re wondering what the fuss is about
People are stealing your rims and all you seem to do is replace them
Money can buy you all your hearts desire
From expensive wigs, weaves, clothes,
To cell phones, booze, and whose


There is nothing good that comes from money
Gambling it all away loosing is never funny
They say money makes the world go round
But all I’ve found is the world to be upside down
I am discussed and dismayed with money today
Money always seem to find a way to send you to an early grave
Money will forever remain the root of all evil
For those who love, the money making believers

MANIFESTO

MANIFESTO

Three words inscribed on a bullet
Finger on a trigger ready to pull it
This system that does not concede
Free healthcare at the point of need
Or each citizen having their own say
Then they express in their own way

It’s politically influential Big Pharma
That have a different kind of karma
Money not blood, is the circulation
Feeding each medical organisation
Donations keeps it just the way it is
Even when retribution begins to fizz

With certainties like death and taxes
Just where now indeed is that evil axis
Industries may be considered corrupt
As insurance fees are simply upped
What does it really take to lift the lid
Pushing the poor down the pyramid

Social medicine is seen as communist
The truth is diverted and then missed
It’s not capitalism in everyone’s sights
Or choosing to distort human rights
But money makes the world go round
Despite extortion often being found

Yet murder cannot justify a murder
Even in a kind of government purdah
A message has been sent, to be sure
Remember ‘Sicko’ by Michael Moore
And now the sense of injustice grows
From the words, Deny Defend Depose

Money makes the world go round
Say wealthy people profound.


Money when rightly enthused
Offers hope to those abused.


Money is that ample route
To address cares down and out.


Money in decent employ
Can heal the hurts that destroy.


Money is an idea grand
For clever use to fund plans.


Money is not an evil
Unless it makes a devil.


Money is vast value stored
To exchange for even more.


Money is at best a tool
For both the wise and the fool.


Money is just a sure thing
That helps you live hurl and fling.


Money is one way to tell
Life to sculpt hope and cast spell.


Money is God's gift to you
To use to make dreams come true.
