That Green Paper

1/29/2019

 
by Nelle C, 11th 
That green paper that changes people in a good or bad way when they have too much
That green paper is what makes the world go round
Traveling from one person to another
That green paper is called money
Gold digger’s looking at the next person to see if their wallet is full of that green
Money hungry people trying to make a name for themselves
Black men losing their lives to the system or graveyard trying to get full of that green fast money
Women settling for less using there bodies instead of their knowledge to get that green paper
Money is money is what they say 
But to others 
They believe that the money people in poverty make is not worth as much as their “clean” money
Those who struggle don’t care what kind of money it is 
Which is what the wealthy doesn’t understand 
Those who struggle rather die getting it fast then live with is coming slower
Those who have too much of that green let the money make them
Nothing in this world is free 
Money hungry people trying to make it in a money hungry world
