I know that money can buy privilege
In negotiations, having money gives one leverage
That smartness alone cannot provide
Money opens doors more wide..
*
There is art in how wealth is displayed
Not too ostentatious, a bit downplayed
Yet expressed with quiet confidence that comes
From knowing that in exclusive circles one is welcome..
*
While having money opens more doors
Having excessive wealth does force
People to conduct themselves with care
Critical eyes do not the wealthy spare..
*
I know the subject of money evokes
Strong emotions, often it provokes
People to vehemently defend their stand
“It’s not about money”- they hope you understand
*
Enough said about money and the moneyed
Let me end by saying money is the evil that we need
Passion...unbridled
