She is the venom swelling dwelling in this land
She has the soul of the people twisted in her command
She tours through pores like a virus seeking out everyone
Never stopping, cause her work is never done
She is the root of all evil in all people invading everywhere
Determined to capture you in her rapture her tricky snare
Nothing seems to stop her once she enters your soul
Her common goal is to change your character have you play a new role
A vulture within all cultures killing us all
Man, woman, youth truth is she’ll make anyone fall
She is the strain of the American Dream
Power and respect is her essential theme
Her name is money

He is the toxic desire in the atmosphere here we breathe
Choking our mind to believe
It’s o.k. To receive
More than we need
The most common disease
That flows through our veins
Secretly invades like AIDS causing sorrow and pain
He prays on those with wealth
Materialistic in self
He is driven by egotistical creatures
Superiority and authority are his teachers
He been around town time after time since before we began
Before this was a nation, he drove people to this land
Created slavery to keep people in poverty
Black men, women, and children living as somebody’s property
He is sneaky hard to detect in oneself
But I can see him clearly in everyone else
Government
Corporations
Society
A variety of situations
I see him in churches
And banks
In my neighbor
Clearly in military ranks
Excessive in needs
His name is greed

Together they corrupt humanity
Create tomorrow’s sorrow's and insanity
Greed and money
Society's milk and honey

Beautiful.

You really should come to voice chat...a poetic paradise...and drop a few your pieces on us. We'd love to hear your flow...your passion.

:thanks: for sharing

I disagree with the "money=evil" part, but everything else was on point!

And I agree w/Brother Monetary!...I, too, am lovin' your flow!

THIS WAS GREAT! :toast:

My favorite part was THIS
:
He is the toxic desire in the atmosphere here we breathe
Choking our mind to believe
It’s o.k. To receive
More than we need

You said it right thurr!
