I am money

I am wealth

Unmitigated greed

I am progress

I am stealth

I’m all I’ll ever need

I am labor

Pay me please

The smallest portion of

The billions that I’m

Making thee

It’s not an act of love

I am worry

I am pain

I’m all I can afford

I am vapid

I am vain

I’m lonely and I’m bored

I am envy

I am greed

I’m eating you alive

If you don’t stop

Feeding me

Then I’ll hijack your life

I am poison

I am vice

I am the worst of you

I am solace

I am wise

I only tell the truth
