Five Houses of Money


First is the house of need.
Second is the house of want.
Third is the house of enough.
Fourth is the house of greed.
Fifth is the house of possession.

Mash Up

Acolytes of the Almighty
Dollar squeeze
That eagle’s talons
As they hurtle above
The gaping maw
Of the Grand Canyon.

Confidence is a con
With fun-house mirrors
That distorts health care,
Shelter, and nourishment,
Undermining values
Of whatever is needed.

Herds of cattle rumble,
Panic, and plunge
For safety in numbers,
While rhinestone herders
Burn paper money
For the value of smoke and ash.
