Why this?

by tragic   Aug 26, 2005


This world is run by money
Paper that people will die for
Even though it isn't real
Its something were forced to cry for

Once again I feel a slave
A number in the population
With a file and an identity
Is this the way things were meant to be?

Once again I ask myself
Once again I think
Its only a matter of time
Till we are extinct

Without the system is catastrophe
Without money would be Blasphemy
Because we don't know how to live
is why we have money we don't know how to give

Money isn't real
Its just paper to make society work
It could be rice
and still people would pay the price

Happiness is priceless
No amount of money
can buy this
But once again
I ask Why this?

    Wow Great poem....your meesage is strong and clear.
    My fav verses were :
    Once again I ask myself
    Once again I think
    Its only a matter of time
    Till we are extinct

    Without the system is catastrophe
    Without money would be Blasphemy
    Because we don't know how to live
    is why we have money we don't know how to give

    To me the message really came out the strongest in those verses. I also really like the word play.
    Wat ppl don't realize is that we will be the endangered species if we do not take care of this world and ALL the ppl in this world. 5/5 Great Job!!!
