Thi$ Poem i$ a Metaphor for ¢apitali$m


 I love money.

¢an I have $ome?

I have 2 kidney$, 

but only 1 wallet.

2 kid$’ need$, but

1 father. $ir, 

I hate to be a bother, but 

¢an you help out a brother 

from another mother

who fought in a war

of the mind$

down in the mine$ 

to get what God 

$aid wa$ mine 

In a book from 

The motel room

Where I grew up. 

$en$e make$ ¢ent$;

Dollar$ make baller$ 

Who feed their

Toddler$. 

I want money. 

“All men are ¢reated equal,”

wrote the $laver$ who$e fa¢e$ 

pla$ter the paper that pha$e$ 

out of my life before 

It takes me pla¢e$.

I $pend my ¢ent$ on $¢ents 

For a $en$e of pre$en¢e 

That pre$ent$ the preten$e 

that the world need$ to be like 

thi$.  

I need money.
