Money Moves
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Money moves minds from pretensions,
To assumptions to delude...
A power to fiction money buys,
Attraction to have it last.
And sincerity undenied.
Money moves corrupt mentalities.
Sold on things that bling to flash.
Bringing to the one who has the cash,
Compensating in their minds...
What is lacking they do not have.
Money?
Has seldom been used,
To pay for loyalty, trust and honesty.
Or the chemistry of true friendship.
Those with money believe they can get.
Money moves can not provide,
Anyone feeling insecure...
To vanish from insecurity.
Knowing that felt inside where it resides.
Nor can anyone keep truth hidden.
If not known the difference,
From truth to tell.
Or the entertaining of a told sold lie!
Money user move makers,
Could care less.
Who is crushed under their footsteps.
Made to victimize.
And endure the pain sustain by it.
Nowhere does this appear,
On their unconscious minds...
Drugged on selfish thoughtlessness.
Although as time passes,
This too...
Has its lapses into a past to revisit.
That seems incapable to stay as is.
Keeping one thing,
Money movers have yet to prove.
An ability to prevent...
Every cent they paid to get it back.
For the evil deeds they did to others.
With an enjoyment to attack.
And it believed their limited mentalities,
Will not perform this vicious act!
As if a storm from nowhere,
Out of thin air...
Had been unleashed to defeat,
Money movers to flush into gutters!
