A penny's worth

Against nature,

Against morale,

Existed for transactions,

It penetrate into our belief,

Our character,

It makes greed looks like a desirable trait,

All the excitement,

Though temporary,

Surely a prized addiction.

Printed with regulations,

Policies grasped firmly by the special few,

With the ability to help 

and destroy,

What's your worth next to a million pile?

Look at them spending their dime,

You'll see your net value,

You'll see the stripes along those hearts.

What are you, next to that pile?

You

Before you,

I knew joy,

So genuine and so pure,

Before you,

I knew bliss,

So peaceful it came with ease,

When you broke it,

Some wings were clipped,

When you torched it,

Some flames remain,

It stayed to ruin,

It stayed to hurt.

Then YOU came,

YOU made me new,

YOU re-created me,

A whole new role.

With YOU,

My precious soul,

I have hope,

My soul restored.
