    The God Almighty Dollar

     Once when I was very young
    I was given a dollar
    I spent it all on candy
    And then began to holler

    Momma tried to calm me
    Kissing me,Hugging me
    Leaving her warm scent on my collar
    But I didn't want this
    I wanted that God Almighty dollar

    Now I'm older and I work hard for my money
    I crave money dearly Like a bee does honey

    But I can't keep it
    So the bill collectors say
    And they throw a big fit
    If I don't send it their way

    If I don't give in
    They begin to holler
    And I still end up without
    That God Almighty dollar

    thak you,Iknow everyone hates paying the bills

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
