In God We Trust by ~EvanDraigan:iconEvanDraigan:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open




I hate you,
And I love you.

I wish you didn’t exist...
No, I don’t mean that.
I need you
So that I can survive.

You...
Corrupt the mind of innocents.
Give me false hope.
A sense of security.
But you don’t last.
Later on
You’ll be at the mall,
The object of some poor salesgirl’s attention.

Tomorrow morning
You’ll be
In my best friend’s pocket
Completely unaware
Of the pain you cause.

I find myself
Clipping coupons
Just to hold on to you
A little bit longer,
And babysitting even the brattiest children
So I can have more.

I would do anything
Just to have
Those folded paper bills
In my hand again.

I know you’re not everything...
But you sure are something.
Something that I need.

This love
Is so true,
And so
Very
Shallow.

Ha! Interesting addiction with such a strong poem to go with it (and preview pic!). ^_^ The poem is nice and flows well. Best of luck in the contest!

"Everybody wants someone to hold.
Everybody wants to choose a role.
Ain't nobody willing to break the mold.
No hint of bravery."

Very good stuff :) It could fit in the human nature category, because loving money is human nature. Great use of enjambment and punctuation :thumbsup:

Tranquility interrupted by a jealous mind, life overcome by the grief of the ending, celebratory drinks for a lost occasion, a mind full of black, the tainted, dirty white.

I can soooooo relate to this poem! :crying: Of course, I'm also a picky spender. :paranoid: My money usually piles up somewhere.

I remember that in Civ, currency is the worst upgrade. It messes up everything.
Three cheers for minimalists.


...all this coming from someone who is losing cash fast.

Thanks! =) The title is because on the back of a dollar bill it says "In God We Trust."
