Everybody Wants Money Poem by Paula Glynn

The National Lottery gold ticket holder
Does dream of exciting and potential winnings
Imagining their lottery ticket numbers
Will appear on the famous television screen being
A millionaire a lifelong fantasy and impossible dream.

The attractive and talented world famous rock star
Does live in their first interior designed mansion
By the age of no longer innocent young twenty years old
With endless millions of records sold
The world of money taking a firm hold.

The president facing the entire planet of people
Knowing their confidence will increase their wealth
Knowing they will always have the best of health
Leading the world and keeping order in chaos
The president doing the best job they can.

The general public generating billions
In terms of continuous public spending
The companies selling vast and desirable goods
Doing the absolute best job they should
Amazon on the Internet leading the market.

The aviation industry keeping the public flying
Always making air travel luxurious and comfortable
Always giving selfless hospitality
Relaxing passengers with onboard luxury
There even being sleeping quarters on airplanes.

Schools filled with all kinds of people:
From children, teenagers, young adults, disabled
Students in their twenties to older forties
Learning everything from medicine to music
Language and computer skills and science.

NASA taking science into space
The International Space Station generating
Billions of dollars and knowledge of space science
Taking the human race beyond the precious earth
Taking astronauts through the solar system.

Computers and the Internet where everything is at
From billion dollar Facebook to Pinterest
From Shopify to Vinted to eBay and YouTube
The worldwide Internet vast with its digital footprint
The worldwide Internet where gold diggers are exactly that.

The film industry raking in the public's money
With their mood changing cinematic experiences
With their diverse and creative television
With their talented and amazing actors
The world of international film coming alive.

The vast planet continually spinning in orbit
Nine billion people working for money
Working hard to make their way in the world
Yearning for access to the international money pot
That does say they don't want to stay in bed and rot.
