More rich Less poor


#whatwouldyouchangescholarshipslam They say what would you change? People begging for change. More rich, Less poor Infinite happiness is my repor. Money such a problem Why we shift over bills Comitting crimes and leaving wounds that never heal, "All hail the mighty dollar, cash rules everything around me" is what they holler. Flashback to the greed of a nation printing peoples faces on green square cotton paper. Rape her for the cash, kill him for the mill, College tuition off the hill. Yet and still new money they revel. If the green paper never did appear could we be higher than here? What if we change the meaning of rich and poor, and to be happy in spirit ment to be worth so much more. We claim money is power but in a forest fire its just ashes to a tree. The only thing left alive is the people you see. Lets treat people well and not let money prevail. Understand that anyone can be rich and you dont need a dead man on paper to tell.
