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
