Dollars And Cents Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Dollars And Cents

When the dollars do you part
That will be the start
Of your downfall
No one listens to you at all
Like people were listening to the klink
Rather than what you think

It's like you make sense
Only when you have cents
For i remember when pockets were lined
I was never maligned
They would bow and curtsy
Treating my mea culpa with courtesy

I had friends who stood by my money
In thunder or lightning, whether dark or sunny
Protecting what was theirs in my custody
My solvency their rhapsody
Now i realise and admit
It's the dollars and cents dammit
