The Sea
Waves crash into the shore
Gulls dive into the surf below
I have never been to this beach before
The bull shark guards its turf
The storm engulfs the sea
Lightning strikes the ground
All these things surrounding me
As I slowly drown
Monsoon
Water trickles down
Settling on the Riverbed
The land is alive
A mad dash for the river
Balance is restored
Money
Money controls my thoughts
It’s the ultimate drug that eases my suffering and eases my nerves
The more that I get the more I crave it
When I was young and innocent these feelings didn’t corrupt my head
I had other hopes and aspirations
But now those feelings are gone
I am numb to the outside world because of my addiction
Money has destroyed marriages, friendships, and careers
But after all this destruction all I can think about is getting more
