WE Are Living In The Age Poem, by duggantherhymer, at My poetic side

We are living in the age of our paper god it does seem

Where our emphasis on money is to say the least extreme

You are judged in the value in money of your home and your car

Though this does not tell us of the sort of person you are

Though moneywise wealthy spiritually quite poor the millionaires of the town

Who never spare a thought for the financially poor and the mentally down

Though admired by many what does this really say

Of most people in their human values of today

Nowadays truly selfless people are in the few

And this is not saying in any way what is new

To the gods of their religion billions of people kneel to pray

But to many their god is of paper today

Winning is the thing everybody does choose

In a world where for one to win big many have to lose.
