Today's writing prompt from NaPoWriMo is: Write about Money
A Drop in the Bucket
It’s in our DNA,
To build upon and build upon.
To multiply, and increase.
To take up more space,
To be our own.
To identify what is ‘mine’.
One penny connecting to another,
Becoming another form of currency,
Attracting more connections.
The endless becoming of many pieces
That together represent
More than the whole.
Culturally the monies display differently,
But underlying the structure,
Their concepts,
look the same.
Like with our own DNA,
Money buys ninety percent junk,
Only ten percent for what we need to function.
Often, our wallets suffer from disease and loss.
Some feel emptiness,
Some are obese,
Some are tainted with bad blood.
Many submit to the God gene and feel all powerful,
While others are stolen
Disappearing into the masses,
Unnoticeable,
An insignificant
drop
in the bucket.
It’s in our DNA to make more.
It’s in our DNA to take over,
As we spend
we speak,
Through our voices,
we evolve.
Thank you for your poem. It is nice to hear a poem about money for a change...
