A God Called Money

- October 18, 2017

There is a great god called money

Who builds his palace on the grave of men

Thrones of honour on the bones of his sons

In his goblet flows the blood of his devotees

On his table scatters the skulls of his priests

He is the silent yearning in the hearts of the young

The secret worries in the eyes of the old

He is the chains belting the waist of giants

The pride in the sceptre of kings

A principality of hell

A deity of holy grounds

Kind without kindness

Hurts without hurting

The untameable love of things that glow

Makes the untutored hands of the boy fondle with the burning touch

The fanatic hunger for things so scarce

Makes the wise tucks his cloak of knowledge into the fire

Money kills those it heals

It chains those it frees

That is the only god I know

Worshiped by men of all religion
