Introductory Portfolio, Poem 3

Money Talks

Money doesn't bring happiness
Greed destroys you
Riches ruin you
Isolation
Cruel words of destruction
For
Money travels
Money provides
Money bargains
Money saves
Money shelters
Money shows love
is loved
conveys love
For this love
money is degraded
overrated
berrated
often hated
Yet they keep coming back for more
Strangers and loved ones
long for my feel, my touch when i'm hot, until i burn
a passion
Then, they burn me
Despite my cries, pleas, and yells,
"For all I've done, you forsake me!"


But who listens?
Do you?
