A billion Dollar SoulA billion dollars can buy a bushel of silence and two for death
hectares of prime farmland or champagned private jets
It can buy a turd in stilettos and a pyrite hearted mistress.
A billion bucks can buy you a secondhand spaceship
or an endless good run of wall street luck
it can buy a bloated lip- plastic...

Marco Rubio(Voice of a Broken Lineage)
Before your first cry kissed Florida’s air,
Two weary souls crossed oceans of despair—
Your parents, Cuban hearts in exile,
Arrived in 1956, not with riches,
But with hope wrapped in trembling hands.
They fled the storm, not to breed silence—
But to gift you a voice sharp as justice.
And yet, what song do you sing now,
Marco...

she inherited millionsshe inherited millions
her parents’ house, furniture, clothes, knickknacks, jewelry, daddy’s watch
never spent a penny on a couch, never chose a painting or a necklace
satisfied with mommy and daddy’s things, wore mommy’s clothes
a spinster, who spent her money frugally on groceries and utilities
turned her thermostat down to fifty-six in the winter, to save money
satisfied with her...

crypto currency
only the one percent will have it—
digits on screens,
coinless gold,
cleaner than blood,
colder than God.
you kept printing your paper,
tossing it like confetti
at a funeral,
your wages wrapped in lies,
your hopes barcoded,
your future encrypted.
you can't eat a dollar bill
and you sure as hell
can't chew a blockchain—
but they’ll tell you to smile
and have more kids
for the labor farms.
keep breeding,...

Is America Great YetEverything this person say, think and do revolves around money. There was a saying that “Money is the root of all evil.” I beg to differ. Money is not the root, the love of money is.
The need and greed to be that obsessed displays someone who is possessed.
The need to control it all, to want...

Money Manif he could fold her up and put her into his wallet
she might seem valuable.
If he could see her in the middle of a bank statement
she might be worthy.
But since he cannot
She has no interest for him.
For he is only interested in one kind of interest....

One Coin, Two Sides
What's true for you
even if it is insanity
may not be the same for me
as we each have our own reality
'There's two sides to every coin'
some are said to say
'But what about the edge,
when one is on display,
showing tails and the obverse?'
as a numismatist I insist
even a mirror reflects the reverse
yet when confronted with a conundrum
maybe...

The Metropolitan AreaThe area where the coffee scent fills the air
Where the homeless see the well off and just stare
Everyone has their heads down into their phones
Beautiful buildings and waterfalls running off stones
The people are too educated to be nice and polite
Front desk security is called if something isn't right
Plenty of places to choose from to fill...

When Money Becomes PowerI have known the hollow silence of empty hands,
once full of gold, now dust and fading strands.
I gave my heart in seasons bright and fair,
helping those in need, with love laid bare.
But when the coins ran out, the doors grew cold,
no pennies left to buy a dream or hold.
Help came shackled, wrapped in debt’s tight...

THE US DOLLARI am the US dollar
And I'm shrinking fast
One because of
Inflation and high interest rates
Pretty soon I won't
Be worth anything...

Love Mineral Number Twenty ThreeTe quiero , I love You,Ti amo,

songs endearing
some worth sharing
some I dare not
romantic lyrics

I Love You sounds great
when your the number one guy

when I'm bruised by
your loving
and I'll ask myself why
Fussing and cussing all about
with a tear in my eye
and you say I'm foolish
and I...

Money
Power
Laughter
Merriment
When money comes power comes
When money comes laughter comes
When money comes there is merriment
Money is everything
Money
When there is no money there is sorrow, sadness and tears
House of money house of merriment
When money comes friends come
When there is no money friends flee
When you have money you are the toast of the town
When there...

Heart with money and Poetry in the material worldSadly, only the heart does not always do,
you need the strength of the money too.
Money makes the world go round,
only fools would say that it is not true.
But the actions of the heart with money
those are the only stories that achieve glory,
a tale the people will tell more excitedly to you.

If I talk, it creates...
