money is just paper,
but people react to it like poetry.
they work passionately,
dragging their hollow bones to work day in and day out,
aggressively striving to come out on top.
because at the top is more money
piled high like monastery of wealth.
clawing their way past others like animals of the lowest caste
trying hard to be the only ones.
so obsessed with status they lose the sight that gives them reason
when it comes to the compassion of human beings
"money is the devil"
but the devil is in us all
isn't that what they preach?
