    We all have done and do it....

    OBSESSION OF CURRENCY
    What  once  was  will  be  I  have  said
    Obsessing  to  media   prescribed  relevancy
    Like  obtaining  a  gat  to  protect  family
    Robbing,  Shooting  or  Killing  to  See  Respect
    In  the  darkest  of  night   is   Blackness ‘ insecurity
    Re-directing  a  nation’s  scarred  history  Presidentially
    While  renewing  the  faith  of  the  good ole  days?
    For  Good  Ole’ Boys  to  act  prejudiciously
    Strip  clubs   poles,  are  for   feminine  climbing
    Masculine  attendees  throwing  dollars  for  gimme
    At   pennies,  nickels  and  dimes,   to  make  it  rain
    As  fame  is  claimed  from  victory  dances  of  celebration
    Fashion  lines  are  celebrity’s  fame  form  of  progression
    As  sagging  pants  below  waist  line  profess  urban  reality
    No  longer  reciting   but  slamming  poetry  restitution
    Cause  of  death  extensively,  heart  stoppage  exclusivity
    Everyone  is  a  star  for  T.V.’s reality,  Playing  games  24/7
    Economically  relying  on  market  fluctuations  in  home  prices
    From  age  old  ponzi  schemes  and   pyramid  derivatives
    Not  supervising  and  parenting  children,  as  the  kids  learn
    From   possessing  education  but  lack  understanding
    Pay  your  taxes  so  you  can  continue  to  enjoy  freedom
    Wars  are  fought  to  pillage  enemies,  but  although  we  won,
    how  come  they  come  home  with  no  money,  to  pillage  me
    and  curtail  my liberty,  patriotic  existent  on  value  of  money
    As  life  goes  on  Obsessing  over  Currency!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
