What Money Has Yet to Accomplish

What money has yet to accomplish?
A satisfying way to be repelled,
By the benefit of having it.

Or bring such excruciating agony,
To those who have too much of it.
Too cause undenying grief.

And much sweet relief to a dieing economy,
Overtaxed and burdened...
With the construction of more prisons,
To house millions addicted...
Will free us all.

'They are not addicted to money!
They are addicted with the teasing done,
By the unspoken limitations of democracy.
With a selective few declaring themselves patriotic.
And cast under hypnotic spells.'
