$

$ = dollar sign or money symbol



Why is this $ symbol so important,

people kill just to have it in their lives?

They will do anything to get or have it,

just to fulfill their wants, needs, and cries.

Why is this $ symbol so important,

they will be a prostitute, steal, or cheat.

Work for the mafia or do bad things,

one of them dealing drugs on the street.

The rich people keep all the $ for themselves,

they are too selfish to give it away.

When they could spend it on something more useful,

so the poor in society won't decay.

There is a better way to get and spend $,

go to the local church or a help group.

People who know how to spend the $.

Don't be selfish or bad, get the scoop.

To do bad things or be selfish is not great,

I know people need $ in their lives to live,

but they don't have to live a bad lifestyle.

The rich don't need to to be selfish, but give.

If we could do the right thing with our $,

the world could have less strife.

We be much happier with eachother,

we could be able to live our life.

Good question. I wish I knew the answer sometimes, but not right now. If I knew, then I'd be one of them and that's not who I want to be.
