The world is not for sale.
How we have lost our minds, to believe that
Everything equates some cash value.

While power hungry monsters
Orbit the globe, gambling on it,
Restless fools stand by, abnormal
Like camels on tricycles,
Drowning in the desire to join.

If the world were for sale,
So brainwashed would the people be

Neglectful,
Oblivious,
That green greed would swallow us whole.

For your sake, quit scrutinizing over that wallet.
Our currency is becoming our culture.
Remember the scent of the roses.

$tray from the conformity of competition.
Act as if money didn't actually buy happiness.
Let yourself resist the
Expectation that the world will be for sale someday.
