I'd Multiply
If
I were
a dollar bill
I’d
multiply
I’d feed the hungry
house the homeless
Fill empty pockets and make negative accounts
POSITIVE
I’d
pass myself
out without a service charge
here, here
dollar dollar bills
y'all
here, here
dollar dollar bills
y'all
I’d
plant trees
in every community
with me being the strange fruit to be
picked and plucked at will whenever needed
by young and old
big
and small
short
and tall
I’d
spend every
cent of me to cut and remove the root
that made me evil
I’d
make myself
good and plenty (to all)
so...
there would be no need
to
steal
or
cheat for me
to
prostitute
or stripe for me
to
lie
or die for me
to
hoard
or extort me
to
worship
or kill for me
...NO MORE...
If
I were
a dollar bill I’d multiply
I’d make change of me to bring change
to all

My word, this write was a word play extravaganza! Flowed seamlessly, and quite heartfelt to boot, that you would give of yourself so generously. Outstanding!

Hello Kavindra, I have to agree. Money has created a detour from what is truly valuable...like all you've mentioned. Thank you for dropping in!
