Money speaks, Money hums,
Money begets fortunes and power
Money makes your ‘Dream comes true’
Now Money is my only GURU.
In this ruthless and heartless world
Where all values and ethics
being sidelined in the back seat
With no recognition
For truthfulness, honesty and dignity.
Protesting or standing against
Any unjust or unlawfulness
Is seeming to be a mere stupidity
And idiocracy nowadays.
People will either laugh at you
Or else will just walk away clearly avoiding you.
Money is now the ruler on earth
Above all wisdom and knowledge!
Hence, now I only need
Loads and loads of money,
Whether it is Black, White
Or looted from any or many!
Now I chant only about
Money Money Money!
Money is all, my dummy God
Rest all are useless and bully.
Because I am finding now –
Money speaks, Money hums,
Money begets fortunes and power
Money is the latest SUPRIMO of all.
The most powerful GOD as on date
Is Money by name! !

I commend you on this honest and principled piece. This poem is a statement that denigrates the gutter politics of our global society. Those in power pay only lip service to conventional religious principles, their religion is wealth and power, at any cost. Civilisations are judged on how they treat the weakest in society, we have failed on that score. Somehow the disenfranchised from all corners of the Globe need to unite under a common banner and demand a fairer more equal society. This world, and all that's in it, is not here for the benefit of the privileged few. Well done, Amitava.
Why do people not see it does not make you happy. Though I could do with a little more. (Just a little) Ha. Wonderful Words and I do hope the weight has been lifted from your heart. Thank You
This poem is a tribute of sorts to the injustice and evil that comes from having and using money for evil things instead of helping others who are poor, impoverished, have nothing in their lives. You are so right in that corruption is everywhere in our world today, it is a reflection of how mankind - humanity - has fallen/deteriorated to the lowest level of life ever. This poem is unique in the way you went about writing it, saying money is your Guru, Suprimo, powerful god, showing the intense uses it is being used for evil and corruption of our world! A really fantastic portrayal of how people are using money for the wrong purposes nowadays! I commend you for speaking out about it in this unrivaled way! I will give you 10 - 10's if possible. Thank you, Amitava for your honesty and truthfulness in making others aware of this insanity in our world today. I know it was with a heavy heart you wrote this poem, you are a decent and just man, and not greedy or evil at all. RoseAnn

Totally agree with this. It is a sad state of affairs. Money money everywhere but only Madness prevails. I have personally known this. One day I realized that this valuable piece of paper is as valuable as one makes it. You can hoard it, use it or share it. Whatever you do it only brings pain in one way or the other. My heart too wept many a times seeing the unbalancing act with money and people and finally realized not to dwell on it too long.
