Short Mammon Poems

deem on Mammon
  and think it true
we're all too stupid
  to think it through...

The angry red face of Mammon 
peaks out from behind the now
green skirts of sweet Libertas 
and misquotes the very words 
that bought him his freedom...

Work, loot, kill, the whole nine yards.
The lengths folks go for the dough;
willing to sell out their souls!
Good and bad deeds done.

Melancholy dreams,
         fourth quarter fiscal year end
               wishful thinking tears...

               Hegemony egemon 
         the son of satan, mammon
               chaotic havoc......

let zeroes mount
hurdles daunt you
surmount you must

mammon is God
life's well trod path
says fraud is light

I disagree
life for me is
a sea of love

of contentment
money's meant, see,
for rent and needs...

mammon arrives
the stage
the global arena
whose head
whose heart
whose soul
shall go
the way of the world?
not all that glitters
is gold!
hear well
sense well
brother -
the world's ill
the globe's evil
de mammon arrives!...

from when Adam bombed
   to Atom bombs
the whirled has stayed the same
    mite against might
    rights against right
       fight after fight
       blight after plight  
alls well
  and all swell
    and all normal as well
mammal man and Mammon
   and the Devil in hell...

At the day of tribulations'
Reckless deeds' and end 
Of time
Your consternation
Beguiles' me
And is relative to me
Fore
The Lord is He
Yet,
The maker of mammon
Hath made his bound
Of inequity
Amidst
The trove and treasure
Of the unholy
Which the un-holy of thee
Shall never resist

the stearn bear
ate the bull
as meat unto idols
    (the idle mammals
              of mammon
         on fence road)
the bags of king Midas filled
 as offense rose
the comstock lode
                         dropped
bovines into stockyards
and the slaughterhouse rules
 (u.s.) Pavlovian fools...

"More and more"
Is all we ask for

"The grass is always greener"
As green as my emotion

"Life goes on"
While we struggle to strive

"Love is real"
Though we'll all never know it

"Money spins the world"
Which is why we're unhappy

"The world's a stage"
And we'll never know our truths

"Sex, drugs, rock n' roll"
I'll get it when I'm dead...

all before Christmas
duty expects faithfulness
God humbled (Himself as Jesus)
i just kindled
Love (agape love as sacrificing kind of Jesus)
Mammon May Mock Me
No, No, No
Option: paradise
Question Race, Separation, Traditions
Universe
Verifies
Wonder
X-rays (others: Gamma, Radio and all subatomic particles)
YOUR
zeal (and God's zealousness to unite): Alpha and Omega!...

Bleeding Sons of Lucre



Happy Mother’s beam is the Bank;
We lean on cash, our Father’s flank.

In search of it others eschew grime
For easy “one” by committing crime.

(This is Poetry; this is not a Sermon
I’ll not recur on cursing mammon!)

Oily hands stretched for reception
To that you give without deception...

Is “clean” money not so “laundered”
That can be peacefully squandered!

rage great
freedom wrong
just wait
love makes no difference
sedate strong
people 
excavate earth
under steeple 
mayhem ignore
drink mirth
here two cents
strangle birth
tell poor
save money
buy cheap
dark sunny
hard work
never sleep
no such perk
tame lust
virtue secure
top tax cut
bottom tax must
all manure
war backed
mammon
manipulated
usury driven
hope destroying
fear maintaining
political economy
just reality...

The sound of shoes within the malls
Reflects a time of honoured halls
Where Knights and ladies in bright attire
Would cross the floor to royalty higher
Yet the sound of shoes in mirrored malls
Pass by halls of trader stalls
Of royalty paid more than honour
Of manikin displaying the royalty upon her
Where halls are made for old King Mammon
And footsteps tap out praise upon
For royalty is bought not handed down
And museums displays a dusty crown...

COPLA 97 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

God of money makes monkeys of man
Great leaders line up for Mammon mass :
Count notes sleepless

Sound of money clinking in the bank
Is enough to make leaders kiss *ss :
Monkey business

Leaders decide when to declare war
Silence disgruntled men in their youth :
Weapons bring loot

Warring peoples always want something more
Like a thousand acres of greed to soothe :
Vanquished stay mute

The preachers are collecting monies,
many times more than once
during the holy Mass on Sunday.
Jesus has thrown the money changers

from the Temple, telling them -
what did you do of my father's house.
Money does not belong to God.
It belongs to Caesar.

Even Stock Market is closed on Sundays.
God was born and resurrected in the cave,
but his servants live in the manors,
in their castles, demanding alms

from the poorer than they.
Shameless preachers of the mammon....

Life is full of many things
Those with wealth, that live like kings
And those that do not measure up
And fall to short, to fill the cup

But Me, I love to fly
Regard me not, like other guys
When young, I heard a Tale
That removed, the curse-ed vail

That most people sot to save
For mammon they would slave
Grasshopper or Ant
My story, has the former slant

I live today for all its worth
I search world for signs of mirth
I give away, what God gives me
That clearly is my destiny...
