money

12 5 0
                                    


a bloodied $100 bill

clenched tightly

in a rigor mortis  

stiffened hand


bodies strewn around

the room

like a battlefield

filled with bloodied sand


a briefcase open

contents strewn about

millions of dollars

bullet casing bank


no one left alive

prosperity denied

one thing for certain

and this is very frank


money is

the root

of all evil
