    the power of life

    ages ago life
    was to protect itself
    from other living things
    there was no money
    it didnt cost to you anything
    to live; work existed
    but it was shared
    there was no one
    in authority; it was shared
    today though
    money is power
    money is life
    money isn't shared
    money buys people
    to do things that are wrong
    how did it happen
    that life that was once free
    and now you have to pay
    to exist, eat, and travel
    where did we go wrong

    just a nickname

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
