Short poem

Post by Jacques Mwashuma »

For money, we declare war.
For money, we would debase ourselves.
For money, we would cut down families.
For money, we bring down institutions.
For money, we shackle ourselves.
For money, we are all undone.
For money, Our woe has begun.
If the heart is clear, it doesn't matter if there's a storm brewing in the sky.

- Bing Xin.

I thought of the song "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails after reading your poem.
"...I'd discuss the holy books with the learned man...and that would be the sweetest thing of all...would it foil some vast, eternal plan..." Hamick Fiddler on the Roof

Yes, for money we human were doing all those things that was never done before. With or without money we run behind it to get more and more money life.

For money, the world suffers. This is so true, and yet we can't stop loving it.
