But I'm Not Totally Poor


In being all I could do with is money.

Wealth can acquire everything.

Money can put values in life,

But money can't be the whole thing.

 

If I had money, I could buy myself a home.

This dome that surrounds me as defense.

I'll use my money to buy what this domed home needs.

However like I said money isn't hence.

 

My money can't be what I spend for myself.

Money is something that can buy many things.

If I had money I can buy the wants that the hungry need.

But the hungry see this in offense.

 

Money can help relieve many stresses,

but it cannot throw away modern problematic presses.

Money might make magic music

But money can't conjure magic.
