dollars

dollars are green

but you can't make salad out of them

if you are really hungry

they are just pieces of paper


paper is the clue


there is very little life in paper

paper is just around for a while

and not very nourishing to eat


it was designed

to get us to trade

our lives for some stuff

that we really didn't need

but we sure wanted


wanted is the clue


if you are truthful with your self

about what you want

life will be ok


if you lie to your self

life has a tendency

to become boring

and often painful


not much of a deal to me

usually pass on that crap

after all this time

dealing with this little adventure i call life


will go to bed now


maybe
