only Money matters

 

 

 

not life of any color, creed, species,

years on Earth

not Earth

or any Universe

not love or fun, not hate or pain

or pain’s relief

not death or grief

not work that means a better future

strived for or a better now of peace,

creative play

We have given all of value away,

only give heed to

this one devised deity man made

to keep other people at bay

Playing

Curled up inside, becoming me who lives

within this song

where all it makes me yearn for is mine.

Playing

A simple song

with words that hurt like memories

lilting tune to carry you along

somehow devastating me

playing again and again

taking me over

reliving those moments

the music exposes,

back there and then

while drifting through now.
