This piece is a poem that I just started writing in calculus class one day. The idea came to me in english when we discussed if money can bing happiness, so I decided to write about money and it's dramatic effect on society. In the poem money is basically the symbol for someone's economic standard in soceity and if they don't strive to find more, they will fail. But if they strive too much and become ambitious, they will usually fail as well. It seems like a weird poem, and could probably flow much nicer, but I didn't have to want to change some of the key words I used.
Money: the epitome of society
The evil being hidden in the world
The weakness lingering in every human
Yet, it’s the spark to civilization
Money is the basis by what we live
Money brought society together
Like cement filling the cracks in a building
And it keeps the world moving forward
Just like the need for gasoline in a plane
But money is flawed
It leads to crime, greed, ambition, and
Countless negative qualities that humans often try to avoid
Yet again, money is the basis by what we live
It can’t be ignored
To live in this world as we know it,
Someone must go after money when the opportune time is there
Jail, death, or failure are the only other options
The capture of this green, thin paper is essential to move on
However sometimes, it only brings out the evil in all of us
