Dollar Bill
I wear the faces of dead presidents
after I paid for their assassination
I am the whore who seduces you
then shackles you
sucks the life force out of you
and leaves you
cold and empty
You fight wars for me
betray your best friend for me
sell your soul for me
and if you refuse
I will make you crawl on your belly
and beg for mercy
I do not accept rejection
I got you by the balls
I am the Nothing and the Everything
I am the favorite tool
of the masters
who enslave the world
Few can withstand my appeal
Most fall for the grand illusion
Which kind are you?

" I wear the faces of dead presidents
after I paid for their assassination"! Powerful opening and so much truth in this piece. The love of money has created many of beasts.

Thank you for you comment...you make a good point here; it is the love/ greed for money that makes the monsters. Money by itself has no worth whatsoever. It's what we attach to it and how we use it. However, without it you are fucked...

WoW! Well said, Ange...
The Bible put that thought forth a looong time ago ... and way too many supposed Christians still choose not to heed the warning...
"Love of Money is the Root of all Evil"... and then it turns Man into the "Tool" for Evil. ely

I love this powerful poem because it captures the nature of reality so honestly Angel...the ancient Greeks were right...and then there's chaos...and as Nietzsche pointed out...everything is Will to Power.

Thank you for your appreciation! Yes, the chaos is on it's way as the power game amps up for a systematic uprade.

The current U.S military budget is more than $800 billion a year...for what reason?
You raise an interesting point in your poem. Nice work.

Again, Angel,
I really like the way you write, and your subject matter. You feel, and you see the wrong in things.
Thanks,
Matthew.

Well, I try to see beauty too, but that's on another page. Thank you Matthew.

Oh, I'm sure you do, Angel, I just haven't gotten that far yet, but you write beautifully. I wish I could write like that. Thanks!
