I don't really consider myself a poet, but on occassion I write a poem now and then. This is one that I just wrote this evening. I hope that you like it!
"The Trouble with Money"
When mankind's story comes to a close,
Will we all be remembered for our stylish clothes?
Will we be honored far and wide,
For our brand-new, beautiful shiny ride?
Will we get praise and high acclaim,
For what we did or who we blame?
The value of money only exists in our mind,
And if you put it aside, you might just find
That in order for all to have what they need,
All that's required is far less greed.
Just look at the food that we throw away -
And how many people will starve today??
It's the twenty first century, and isn't it time
That we quit killing people for want of a dime?
We can all have enough if we only share.
We can all have enough if we only care.
If you look around, isn't it funny -
That the only real shortage we have
IS MONEY!
Carolyn Caton, September 2012
