The Concept of Money

The Concept of Money - Oct 5, 2009
Jim Magee - Poet of the "Common" Man
Dedicated to all my "common" "brothers and sisters"

The concept of money has been on my mind, quite a lot these past days
That printed paper, backed up by rocks,
Can make the whole world so totally crazed
A devious scheme by a master-mind - to keep the majority down
And their plan is working if everyone's face
Is constantly wearing a frown

No=one should ever have to endure
Homelessness, suffering or hunger
Just the mere thought of a night without heat
should be helping your mind to grow stronger

Help everyone with all that you can
That should be your main objective
And do it with love and patience and caring
It's a gift tho, not a directive

When we think of all the resources we have
There's no need to leave anyone wanting
When you see the news clips of the homeless and ill
The pictures are really quite haunting

If everyone, everywhere would gather together
And all be the "Family of Man"
The combined worlds consciousness would create a new beginning
And it's not a case of "COULD, but rather CAN!!!"
