the way you live your life

if you had more money
would it affect the way
you live your life?
or would it just empower
more of the same
to a grander effect
what would/could you do
that you can't do now
virtual minimization of
personal space
enhanced acquisition of stuff
investment in personal appearance
ego satiate pallative to hide
empty bitter longing for acceptance
substituted for by too much stuff
listen ~ no hugs ~ no joy ~ no peace
reduce consumptive degradation
via abandonment of pursuit
of money instead of wisdom
of money instead of love
of money instead of peace
look at doing by doing
invest in mental sanity
minimize to maximize
let the footprints
remain on the sands of time
watch, create what is desired
one step at a time
do to do, appreciate to love
the drum beats beat
march or listen, lead or follow
but remain out of the way
as the devolution of value
reconfiguaration occurs
if you have less money
would it affect the way
you live your life?
