Money

I'm America's favorite child, every citizen cherishes me, the red, white, and blue has buried a lot of bodies for me and they'll bury a whole lot more, when the score is final and the game is completed, it will all be repeated over and over again, I've got friends in all quarters, im loved by your sons and daughters, I'm the object of your families ambition, I'm wanted by lawyers, pro athletes, and street hustlers...Playboy Bunnies use Hugh to make my acquaintance, though I'm painted as the root to all evil I don't believe you, cause first you say I make the world go round, then you attribute me to wickedness, after I've sent your children to college and graduate school you try to use me as a tool for your moral imbalances, but me, I compensate the talented and I mingle with high rollers, not to sound arrogant but I'm the controller of power and respect---in your eyes, the young, the old, everybody wants a hold of me, robbers rob for me, killers kill for me, Pastors preach the gospel for me and tell YOU that 10% is going to the Lord, Im like the ripcord that brings out the savage man, I'll make a woman sell her body to a below average man, but like I said, I'm not the root to people's absolute greed, I do fulfill needs, I provide food, clothing,and shelter,  ok I admit, I do make the world a little helter-skelter, chaotic, it's like I'm a narcotic for the people, they're addicted because I'm depicted as the measure of success, but it's not of my own doing though I'm known to ruin...lives, sometimes the more of me the more problems arise, well I survived for many years, I bought about plenty tears, as I stand here and tell you that life is real funny, when you really take a look and see what people do for MONEY!!
