$$$ Money Talks $$$

Money talks.

It mutters in the seedy streets
passing from hand to hand.
Dirty money for dirty deeds.
$$

Money talks.

It speaks of greed and corruption
in pillared halls and marble palaces.
$$

Money talks.

In any language, any tongue,
it makes it's vile intentions understood.
It is a wicked master.
$$

Money talks.

It shouts with anger and sparks wars,
sealing pacts in secret.
Funding madmen's genocides.
$$

Money talks.

It whispered revolution,
and for 30 pieces of silver,
betrayed the Son of God.
$$
