The Demon of Money - Poem

The Demon of Money
Is the belief
That money
Is the most valuable thing in the world
That by having it
You have value
That you must seek it as a source of power
And security
As a fortress against the woes of the world
And ultimately
Not caring
How you get it
You just need it
More and more of it
To feel loved
To feel safe
To feel important
To feel like your life matters
After all...

Money is a useful tool
Especially for Satan
It's his favorite way of baitin'
Humans to be cruel.

The Demon of Money
Says that everything has a price:
Food & Fun
Sex & Security
Loyalty & Love
Health & Home
Grief & Gladness
Care & Consolation
Justice & Joy
Friendship & Family
The Demon of Money says
You can only have these
For a price.
After all...

Money is a useful tool
Especially for Satan
It's his favorite way of baitin'
Humans to be cruel.

The Demon of Money
Says that money is the only path to expression
And the amount you spend is the amount you care
That community has an entrance fee
That the reasons for relationships are economic
And an exchange is always involved
That all generosity comes with strings
And that money is the reason for society
After all...

Money is a useful tool
Especially for Satan
It's his favorite way of baitin'
Humans to be cruel.

The Demon of Money
Says that your wealth is your value
That you can only be loved
In proportion to your possessions.
That the only way you can contribute
Is financially
And your income
Is your contribution to society.
After all...

Money is a useful tool
Especially for Satan
It's his favorite way of baitin'
Humans to be cruel.

The Demon of Money
Says that money is more important
Than peace
Than joy
Than contentment
Than integrity
Than justice
Than the environment
Than community
Than compassion
Or even than life itself.
After all...

Money is a useful tool
Especially for Satan
It's his favorite way of baitin'
Humans to be cruel.
