A Poem On The Power Of Money | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

We attempt to seek solace

And satisfaction

In a world driven by greed

Impregnated with the volatile nature of life

We tell ourselves that the only way out

Is to succumb to the ominous shadow—

A shadow that consumes infinitely

Infinitely and critically;

A shadow that lurks above

Beckoning its façade;

Bustling with elation

We pave our own demise in pursuit of inanimatity

In the pursuit of glamor, the exuberance of fortune

But then it's too late,

You're in it's grasp

You drown your sorrows in opulence

But your sorrows learn how to swim

You suspend ever so gracefully,

Lifeless,

The ominous shadow still lurking above

In a world driven by greed.
