Money

The winding never-ending road begins in the forest The root of all evil is an exchange of nature’s breath The root of all evil isn’t born in any sense The root of all evil begins with a death The carcass is driven to its’ after-life It’s given a new face and a new shade of green Most of it won’t make it to hell, every day it’s shredded There is no reminder that what it is, isn’t what it seems Each and every piece that makes it, starts in the same place In this place it is still meaningless until claimed It is then transferred for some purpose Could be violence, could be music, could be life…. It continues on this-never ending path The stock broker to get coffee The coffee worker to get burgers The burger griller to eat bread The baker to ride a skateboard The skateboarder to smoke pot The drug dealer to get a weapon The gun shop owner to have sex The prostitute to keep living The pharmacist to play the market The stock broker to…. We’ve reached the beginning again. The root of all evil is our fuel to survive Our fuel to achieve, our fuel to happiness, our fuel to wrath So when does this stop and what happens when it dies The root of all evil begins with a death, it’s a never ending path
