If Money Could Buy Love. by kiksi(f): 4:06pm On Aug 06, 2019
Good day. I'm not much of a poet but I came up with this. I'd also love for a review, critic/criticisms as well. Would love to learn the ropes. Thanks so much


If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because I’m broke.

If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because I’d be oppressed by those who have it.

If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because I don’t know where it is sold,

Because I don’t trust my bargaining power,

Because I don’t know if I have enough.

If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because the queue is so long,

Because it’d be sold out before it’s my turn,

Because I wonder if it would even get to my turn.

If money could by love,

I still won’t have it,

Because my currency won’t be accepted,

Because my money isn’t crisp enough,

Because it won’t be fresh from the mint.

If money could by love,

I still won’t have it,

Because there won’t be change.

If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because I don’t know how many units would be sold.

If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because I’d be robbed of both my money and love.

If money could buy love,

I still won’t have it,

Because I could be sold the fake.

If money could buy love,

I just may have it because I would give all I have to those who need and have nothing to trade with. I’d be poor and alone and in peace.

While I await the one who wouldn’t spend money but shower me with the currency of LOVE….
