Ahead, Nothing More

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Money and wealth

 used to accompany class

 

Now more often than not,

 it tends toward the crass

 

There used to be style

 that went along with good luck

 

Now nouveau riche dogma

 just passes the buck

 

The internet minions

 and rappers galore

 

Litter our vision

 as they buy out our stores

 

This newest gold standard

 obsesses with bling

 

Their knowledge in tatters

 they read not a thing

 

All intention is focused

 on numbers that climb

 

Like lasers, they pierce

 the mercurial dime

 

But time marches onward

 for rich and for poor

 

Looking back, a past wasted

  —ahead nothing more
