MONEY; A BEAUTIFUL CHARADE (An Original Poetry)
Image Source; a beautiful charade 💰💵 💰
Owned, or loaned?
your soul is bought and sold,
we plant greed like seeds,
overdrafts, terse debts
murders on guns debts on death
even our breath is exchangeable,
our blood on the black markets,
for peppers with minty smells
fight and fight
to swim in flying currencies
no minding, our lives unhinging
Money; a charade?
wealth in our perception,
a lost battle of conception,
we're like puppets,
blind bats without sockets
controlled by lifeless things
that makes us antelopes without brains
running a rat race in dreary places
forlorn and breathless,
yet poor as the fluffiness of a feather
Dear Mother,
my kidney is for sale on a platter,
the world is a colossus,
where strong men binds us,
suicide is the last resort,
when poverty become our breakfast,
we're dying an undeserved death,
tied up by our wants and need,
and thrown deep down the Nile,
like a casket on a ship.
Money is king,
where speeches becomes silent,
and the truth is hidden away
trust is like a sanitary pad caster astray
while loyality is auctioned,
at this precocious juncture,
the hopes for the common man is punctured,
we're pilling up debts in miles,
till we're able to pay no more

Now that was some harsh reality ! You chose the right pic too. That last stanza was insane ! Loyalty is auctioned away , speeches become silent ... indeed ! Real talk right here 💯
You got me cracking with this line
🤣🤣🤣
Some blunt truths here in this piece.
Let us not forget that money is good though , it is men that made it evil as you stated “ where strong men bind us”.
Too much rat race to poverty going on in the world. Let us stay elevated above the system and secure our wealth!
Btw did you see the guy from Ethiopia here who almost had to sell his kidney ?
I didn't know the guy from Ethiopia lol but I used it as an allusion to the fact that people can sell their kidney even because of money, the truth is that I wanted to really add the good aspect of money too lol but the truth is that it would make the truth less potent really.
You're a fantastic inspiration really and this piece, the one you wrote is anazing I feel the response should be maddening wow.
Lol I'm glad you really like it, didn't think it was great lol
Indeed , keep it potent , I just don’t want our minds to end up in the gutter lol !
I think you dumbed it down for me. Your style is more articulate. I like the rawness , it’s like a hardcore dancehall song. Hahaha !
