Power

It may be absolutely ludicrous
That to which we associate power
The simple items of everyday life
A wrapped metal band signifying vows
That end up honored about half the time
It binds them as one or tears them apart.

And again with the color of greed - Green
Human lives extinguished over paper
Wars waged and debt accrued because of it
Printed numbers, a middleman to trade
A relic to a past, more simple life
In favor to the new societal norm.

To be continued...
