Money Poems
#money
Poems about money, never too much or not enough? Money poems about consumerism, corruption and inequality in society. Also poems about buying the things we want, achieving financial independence, and how spending money makes us feel, or changes our lives. Does money really make us happy?
paperbacks, before nineteen seventy one
in his jacket he discovered half a crown, got in a right 2/6d about it
doesn’t matter now, but back then it was the price of a penguin

Online Sales
Skipping through the tulips
selling my wares on eBay,
when I sold a miniature fish
but its tail suspiciously got away!
The customer said it was broken,
and sent me a picture to compare,
I could tell it wasn't the same fish I'd sent,
but there was no way to prove it and be fair.
So, I gave her back her money,
and I skipped through the tulips once again,
when along came another customer,
but it didn't turn out to be a win.
She complained about some stains,
on a vintage towel that I had sold her.

So-called Police Intelligence
The leaders of the police force claim that they have an intelligent organization,
But its evil-minded members have not demonstrated real intelligence.
There is no evidence whatsoever that police are truly intelligent people.
Unwise persons are not intelligent; it requires wisdom to be intelligent.
Police are generally arrogant persons, and they lack the ability to reason.
In fact, the police cannot have a sensible conversation with anybody.
The police regard having a conversation with someone as arguing.
Furthermore, they behave as though they...

'24's At The Front Door
I wanna erase the pain revolving around my cerebellum
Reflecting a time of peace like an antebellum
The serum, unlike red rum, is my creativity
Waving the white flag when writing poetry
Another year meets history as we're approaching 2024
Expeditiously escorting 2023 right outta the back door
I for sure don't want anymore of what '23 had to offer
Devising a plan for how I can add dollars to my coffer
I want my daughter and I to reestablish our bond
A bond that's floated away like lily pads in a pond
Want my marriage to...

Career Changes and Life Changes
I've always been an independent real estate agent like my mom was before me. Because of my need for stability and benefits I went with a larger company starting last June. In July, I posed for this photo with other new real estate agents.
The sweet woman in the middle is Rebecca. She had the most sales for one month for a new agent and has acted like a mentor for me. I now sell properties all over the Dallas area. It was this company's August training that changed the course of my life. The company has been good to me and let me work flexible hours while I'm pregnant.

Unexpected Generosity
Sarah pushed open the creaky door, the memories of her first encounter with Lauryn lingering in the air. There was a low hum of conversation from the men lining the bar, but all tables were empty on this Tuesday afternoon. Sarah spotted Lauryn in the same corner, a solitary figure nursing a glass of wine. Taking a deep breath, Sarah approached, the familiar pang of resentment and empathy weighing her down.
"Lauryn," Sarah said in a cracking voice.
Lauryn looked up with questions in her eyes. "Sarah, hi," she said, offering a small, uncertain smile. ...

Surviving
Paycheck to paycheck.
My life is a literal train wreck.
I'm not tired of trying.
I'm just tired of fighting.
Numerous bills and endless stress.
How do I even clean up this mess?
An unhappy marriage and a broken home.
I'm convinced that I can't do any of this alone.
Two parents are supposed to be better than one.
Too bad when they're angry it's like a war zone.
Screaming and crying with no communication.
Physical violence with no hesitation.
There is no teamwork, so they don't move forward.
Taking one step...

Ninety-Nine Cent Records
He bought himself some records,
Oh yes, he did.
Quite many, I do not kid.
For his mom to sell online,
a little more than just a dime.
Not much profit in this,
I whine.
But it does help pass the time,
listing old records on eBay
for the auction price of 99.

Dishonest Businesspeople
Hey! I just want to show you something, sir.
I got the item I wanted at another place.
And I paid less than half the amount you said it would cost.
You deliberately gave me the wrong information.
I came here earlier to buy a specific brand phone charger.
You did not have the brand I wanted in stock,
So you pushed another one and overcharged me for it.
You wanted to sell me an inferior brand for $1,500.00.
I did not like the price, so I hesitated to buy it.
You told me that I could get the one I wanted elsewhere,
But it...

Don't Worry. I'm A Good Boy.
Dear
Santa--
Just leave your
credit card right
under the tree. That
way, nobody would be
able to steal any cash
from your checking account. And if
you see any charges of mine
on the card, don't worry. I'm a good boy.

My Last Post on AP
Hi, to all my fans and supportive readers, I just came back to tell you goodbye.
Mischievous LGBTQ people have been fighting against my work since I joined this website.
The administrator of AP is undoubtedly a partial, unjust and unwise man.
He has easily played right into the hands of the wicked LGBTQ individuals.
This is exactly what they want, but their malicious actions will not dissuade me.
I thought the administrator of this website had integrity, but I was wrong.
Is he a member of the LGBTQ community or did they corrupt him with money?
