Cash Eyes




dressed in gold..green shimmering  eyes
making promises of riches, smiling with pride
you'll never be alone, sitting high on the  throne
when you go just for the money, you'll sell your soul
your heart will turn cold, from the greed of gold
just for the money, just for the money

run with the money, run with the money
you can sell your conscious & buy a prayer
telling everyone to pay their fair share
people lost in a broken world, does anyone care
money won't buy your way into heaven
standing side by side at the gate, waiting fate

little bit of money, would be sweet like honey
make life a bit easier, lighten the load
careful of the glitter, it could be fool's gold
hang on to the cash, make a sweet stash
not asking  for a king's ransom, just a bit of silver
don't want to rule the throne, just a piece of my own..

    1. Hi Brian,

      I agree money can lighten the load..I just worry about society and the obsession with money in a changing world where everyone is trying to survive...

  2. If I sold my soul, could I buy it back?
    With all that dough I wouldn't lack? haha
    But i do agree
    Don't need tons of money
    Enough to be comfortable is fine by me
    The rest can go to some other sea

    1. Hmm interesting I guess you could buy
      it back if you had enough money...haha
      We all would like money and need money
      to survive..I just worry about the greed of
      big business..making it harder each day..

  3. You are right, if its all about money, then we will sell our souls to the devil ~ I like just having a bit of some silver to lighten the load ~

  4. Ah yes, money is a good thing, but not the most important thing!! If one has enough to lighten the load, that is all that is needed.

    1. Good Evening Mary,

      Would be great for each to have enough to live comfortably..with the cold months coming up I wonder how the homeless will survive a harsh change in temperature.

  5. Something abut money--I recall a bible story. Teacher said to very rich man, "Sell every thing you have, give the money to the poor, leave your people. Then come and follow Me." This has always intirgued/troubled me. But it is a reminder of how important IS it (money!)

    A good "thinking" poem, Truedessa.

    I LIKE "Your heart will turn cold from the greed of gold!"

  6. Money corrupts the soul that yearns to be free by offering it as an avenue to freedom inside a different kind of prison. Good treatment. Great read.>KB

  8. reminds me of paul's prayer to have enough money so that he doesn't have to go hungry but not so much to put his trust on it... money can give false security..true..ugh..

  12. So dangerous to be too taken up with money. I agree with the above comment. We can miss so much in life if that's all we think about.

    1. Hello Victoria,

      Thanks for taking the time to read my words..perhaps, some just have different priorities and sadly may miss out on life.

  13. Money is just part of what you need.. and you definitely don't get happier with more. And being eaten up with greed is definitely of things not to do.

    1. Bjorn,

      We all need money and it does make life easier but, it should not be the main focal point in life as greed is a dangerous thing.

  14. It would be so nice to moderate these needs. People feel very much as if it were all or nothing--they have a sense of being threatened into doing more than they want. Such an interesting way to describe it all. This is Karin of Manicddaily. Thanks. k.
