Money, money do we ever have enough? I hear the screams, NO! Even oligarchs want more There is never enough The person who saved this money Carefully in little trays Likes to take them out and look at them Thinking himself rich He is the lucky one, content with his hoard Would that we all felt the same Alas, seeds planted long ago If laid out in words Would spell out Greed is the new God… © Anita Dawes 2021

I enjoyed the poem, Anita. Gotta wonder how much is enough? My VooDoo Ranger Ale costs $2.50 a bottle and I drink one a week. I guess for me that’s enough.
I can only admire your restraint, John…
Compared to my younger years, I do too. 🤣
I often wish my spark hadn’t faded away quite so soon, John…
Yeah I can understand that as well.
You too?
Well I look back on what I accomplished and am proud of that. I still have spark but it is not as spontaneous as it once was.
I am beginning to feel a little ‘dim’… that’s the best description I can find…
That is a good description. We have to fight that with activity. Since I’m 80 I can give you this advice. Get a bike or even just a walk. While doing the activity keep the brain moving too. Look around and discover something new each day. Might even be something simple like a crack in the sidewalk.
By dim I meant ‘not quite there’ a little hazy? But I am writing another mystery story, so not bad yet!
I still say activity takes the haze off the mind.
up to a point, I suppose it does… have to make the most of it while it lasts, I suppose…
Good idea.
“Greed is the new God”- so much truth in that sentence.
and it sems to be getting worse…
A wonderful poem. It won’t be long before we get electronic money. Then we will only be able to dream of our wealth.;-) Have a nice Sunday! xx Michael
Then we really will be penniless…
:-( Dont worry, we will find an way out.
Wonderful image and well justified with your beautiful words penned.
Thank you!
