Merry-go-round
Money, wealth, gold
Currency makes worlds go round
At least that’s what I thought
I grew up rich
Didn’t cook, clean, or soe
Not a single stitch
Not a single woe
I had people for my people
I had bedrooms for my closets
I owned my own steeple
I put up with no nonsense
But soon it all came down
I watched as walls crashed
I watched as it all drowned
I watched as people dashed
. . . All my hard work hit the ground
The stock market crashed
People continued to flee
I, however, couldn’t dash
I was stuck in my sea
My worries increased
So, I took to the street
My mom now deceased
And nothing left to weap
