The print of a piece of paper with

a currency sign is what we lust after. 

We want to believe that we have 

escaped the rat race but we are more 

entrenched in than we know, 

Or should I say we have to feign ignorance

of it for no one wants

to seem greedy but yet we know how well

our moods either elevate or plummet at

the sight of that print in our wallet. For

some, extreme lengths are nothing

compared to just one more piece 

of printed paper. 

But atlas we must remind ourselves,

It’s still just a piece of paper.
