I never thought you ever posted a non-serious entry ...

Under Capitalist Democracy,
James Patterson will defend to the death
The People's Right to Spend their Money
on Bestsellers not only in America
but all around the World!
God bless America!
God bless the Million Dollars!

Her eyes are hungry,
Her mouth is dry.
Stomach bulged,
Mother's too high,
to live in reality of the world diminishing around her.
While her children cry, beg, and plea.
She smokes and smokes, oblivious to the stench of rot.
These dreams are not dreams,
but nightmares that haunt my sanity.
I have no money, I have no plea.
Not with the world, not without green.
They cover their bleeding eyes, their deafened ears.
They turn away, for the sake of their "good night's rest"
While I lay awake each night.
Insomnia at it's finest.
Our empty hands resonate from empty pockets.
Our words are not strong enough,
Our cries are not loud enough.
As long as taxes are reigning importance,
and ears are covered by the muffs of greed,
I with my imaginary million will feed and satisfy
so that we too can get some sleep.

If I had a million dollars,
I'd enjoy it at face value.
But how quickly it would lose it's value, to me.
The richest man alive can still be alone
Like Kane on his deathbed,
Why must we place value on money?
Why are we so greedy?
Why must we use this form of bartering,
while it enslaves us,
and stops us from doing amazing things,
Capitalism is the chain which binds us to the floor
Let us arise.

Oh what beautiful crafted poems, Liz, rodan and soleil_89! Congratualtions, I read your poems and I think that among the entries they are truly poetic verses crafted with focus and devotion. Thanks for hosting Vee!
I also enjoyed reading Didi and Roach's poem, and ideologically, I am closest to Roach's poetic view of money (and I really like his language... ). Much enjoyed!
