Imprints on Life
Barries shattered by paper and ink arranged in special designs,
Changing but overall never losing its meaning to time.
With spider webs in corners and colored water to its length,
Amazing how flimsy paper could hold inside so much strength.
This paper holds worlds in it's fingers of wealth and power,
It can turn an important man into a sniveling coward.
By making some rich it gives the world to those of wealth,
Can cure sickness or spread disease to one man's health.
The imprint of evil on the front with a sign of sin in the corner,
Popularity comes with richness as does a poorness with a loner.
Parents live for it to give their children a life they wish they had,
Then when reality strikes their hearts they cry and are sad.
For their minimum wage doesn't cover the bases needed to run,
The fun they want is gone and the dreams for their children are done.
These imprints of life are amazing for one piece of paper and ink,
Can change the entire civilization and it makes you think...
.
Why do we let this monster empower our minds and our souls,
How is it that if we burned this money we would still be cold?
Green with envy, well I guess we know where that comes from,
To some it means to be jealous, to others its something to do for fun.
One day maybe we will learn to let go of this demon's grasp,
Scraping at our skins to get inside make us want more from our past.
Damn the invisible monster that makes people green we call greed,
For it kills everyone inflicted, and it remains an incurable disease.
