Money

The moguls of business covet your hard-earned wages
They grind their own workers into the ground
To stuff their pockets full of moola
Money trumps everything

The Master of Politics covet your vote
They serenade you with impossible pledges
To stuff their pockets with your tax money
Money trumps everything

The proprietors of retail covet your business
They pay their workers minuscule wages
To accumulate wealth and claim it's fair
Money trumps everything

The State legislators covet your attention
They pass laws to cripple health mandates
To favor their overstuffed campaign donors
Money trumps everything

Officials ignore the pandemic death
They pretend it doesn't exist
To further their political careers
Money trumps everything

Controlling climate change is neutered
The facts are conveniently ignored
To allow the rape of the planet
Money trumps everything

Wars are fraught to gain territory
Laws are often passed to suppress the poor
Celebrities become rich without talent
Colleges stress sports over education
Tuitions rise beyond reason
Medicines are priced out of sight
Medical insurance cost rises faster than inflation
Justice often turns a blind eye to what is right
Wealth has become a false promise of happiness
Money thumps everything
