It Is All About Money Poem by Francis Duggan

What of this purchase how much for it did you pay
It is all about money in the Human World of today
How much are you paid weekly in the job you work in
Those living on low incomes few friends can hope to win
Money does speak all languages why otherwise pretend
The one with plenty of it never short of a friend
At the highbrow parties where the wealthy for attention compete
You will not meet a person from poverty street
Far more poor than wealthy people living in the Human World of today
And this seems a rather sad thing for to say
That money speaks every language happens to be true
Though poverty in life should not be anyone's due
It is all about money in the Human World of today
This is how it is and will always be this way.
