oh the madness of moolah

oh, the impertinence of money.

it has a lip-service mentality.

it will sleep around,

has the moral code of an accomplice.

agrees to anything that looks like action.

has the soul of a departed.

has the reputation of a mindset.

its true value is a matter of life or death.

it goes by a variety of names,

from slim pick-ins to glory-be.

it has no recognition for the past.

will travel in disguise with anyone,

to anywhere. 

is hands-on in the most important of situations.

it's every smile is also a smirk.

is only afraid of burning to death.

has distant relatives of a hearsay nature,

sometimes gold-backed,

others times, the counterfeit.

has a pleasance about it 

when introduced.

appears to be needy

likes to be in bunches of its own kind.

almost goes unconscious when asleep.

has no problem with denominational differences.

knows one dance style really well.

would watch SPEND as a travel-log show.

could write amazing novels

about the human sideshow.

is all ears for the sounds of intention.

would really dress up,

if it mattered.

money never learned the meaning of blame.

does well with impulse and irrational excursions.

is best scene at the execution of circumstances.

dreads the future of the electronic age.

easily carries more weight

than any written spiritual text.

lives somewhere between profound and dumbfound.

doesn't really care about its birth or death,

just about its currency of action.

is most disguised by reputation at hand.

knows the pertinence of now,

better than most humans can.

can't tell the truth by circumstance

and will lie with the best of them.

if human fingerprints were its make-up,

than massive deductions could be made.

its actual DNA is potentially dubious

by circumstance and also account.

makes you wonder 

if it was born during a plague.

functions way more like grasshoppers than bees.

really has a celebrity status,

when compared to most dirt.

not very good at multitasking

but highly skilled at one.

generally works in a ritualistic fashion

but has never been good at hand to mouth.

for it can be used to buy food

but not good as a substitute.

you'd think humans could 

come up with a better representation of trust.

but money has the claim 

and subsequently all of the fame.

so get back to me

when rich or poor 

is not a means of self appraisal.

and money is off the value table

as a method of human's enterprise . . .
