Monetary Freedom

I saw you lying there on the ground Were you waiting to just be found, Many pedestrians I saw pass you by But, this time, not I. Now, I can buy. Like a woman, you're a temptation and a tease Just to see how quickly that you can please, Finally for once I won't be a window shopper I now can walk past any store, both proud and proper. I quickly came and I scooped you up As though placing a minnow into a plastic cup, Into my pocket you then quickly went Then I thought, were you heaven or hell sent? Quickly I was elevated to a different standing I now felt both mighty, and commanding, Off to buy me a gift that I really don't need Instead of using it for bills, or for food to feed. I then thought how lucky that I truly am Some people get bacon, but I got the lamb, Like a butterfly to a higher social status I did emerge I could finally purchase, and frivolously splurge. I leisurely passed by a favorite store Beside it was standing a person who was poor, I know that his life and that his dreams are probably dim So, my newly found gift, I tossed it to him. His future now it is my prelim. Randy L. McClave
