Money
say it:
Show me the money.
honey
where would we be
without it?
I’d like to shout it
from the rooftops
Money makes the world go round
you relentless hound.
It’s what keeps us afloat
in your boat
which is huge
what a stooge.
It’s that silly
willy nilly
Philly
at the Kentucky Derby.
It’s everything we had
before the wheel turned against us.
So it comes down to this:
money, power, and time.
We find the signs
you left behind, too late
after the horse is out the gate
and your horse always wins
again and again.
You shout down
through the air
in some satellite above humanity
in your precious throne room
filled with supercomputers
and data banks for your crypto
currency.
But shh
Don’t say it’s power.
Don’t say it’s time.
Don’t say you care, it’s money.
