Monetease Poem

Some say money brings blissful opportunities

I say it’s just a way to distance us from unity

Why isn’t this a matter of such intense scrutiny

For all money can buy, it can never buy community

We’ve created a world to be enslaved by a purchase

This is what occurs when more wealth is what we worship

It’s become like a sacrifice, but is it really worth it?

Like so many addicts, we became hooked from the first hit

Too many believe money is the true answer

We prance around its cons like a flightless dancer

Talk about the one percent, yet we envy their lives

I wanted to comment on a world where fair thrives

Fairness has somehow been perverted to corruption

It’s come to mean all is well until an eruption

But if I share all of my care, how can I still function?

It’s easy if you try sustainable consumption

Forget the black Fridays and spend time with the family

This is where the true wealth is now can’t you see?

For even if I had the chance to earn dollars endlessly

I would still realize that I haven’t earned the best of me
