Talk of Money


All this talk of money, as if it makes the world go ‘round?
The irony is that money is the root of our malevolence abound.
The contradiction- Money’s the cause of our sightless shame,
the source of our woes, the foundation of the fire’s flame.

We need remember the exactness of why we’re here at all,
consider the human function and commit ourselves to the call.
Instead of chitchatting so much of foul money’s need,
let’s sincerely converse of humankind’s original seed.

Please consider what you need before considering what you want,
the difference could not be clearer, the distinction more important,
want comes with gleaming teeth honed by money’s greed,
need comes with the breath fulfilled by nature’s seed.

Think.

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Access to...

It's odd to me that the future is accessible to God, but we're stuck with remembering the past, it's untenable. History repeats itself from our obsession with it. I say leave history where it is and instead create something of a present worth repeating.  © 2015 Mark Richard Prime
