Cruel choices
With Green lessons
And man made
Distinctions
Between
God and Reality.
I can not compete
With legality.
For it has no
Honesty
Just a mastery
Of steps
Yet to climb making
Virtue
More difficult
And absent
Value
In more ways than one
Is based on it.
One can not
Obtain it
Without first
Traipsing
Through transient
Typographies
Born from
Greed.

Author's Note: Someone once said money is everything, but it is a heck of a lot better than whatever is in second place. It is what is necessary to live the noble dream of life, liberty and that other allusive promise of the promised land. I just don't get how we've let such a man made thing take grasp of our souls.
