Small Change
Once shiny brass Passed from hand to hand
Worth little, yet still has some use
Silver, more value, for those who need
Where gold wanted, cost rich no doubt
All of it tarnished in the palms of inhumane hunger
Strewn aside forgotten, like discoloured brass
Merit in large numbers, ample bronze found
Many similar, not seen to stand alone
Passed from hand to hand Leaving simply dull, without lustre

Thanks Richard it was in the shape of a coin but cant seem to master it in here x
Hi Lorna....Funny how the value of things goes up and down based upon supply and demand, and how humanity places value on these things that ultimately do not mean anything in the scheme of life and what our priorities should be...The best things in life have nothing to do with money, but our governments like us to believe they are the most important thing...lol xo I enjoyed...It is so nice to read your work again. xo ;)
Yes, the cash that moves from hand to hand is minimal yet we work hard everyday to what we need... the government ensures we can never have more than we need yet we always seem to want more than we earn xxx
Hey LORNA!!.....I can see what you were attempting here with your formatting.......regardless, your point is well made.... like the "Circle Of Life" you follow the 'Small Change' from ~ "Once shiny brass.." to "Leaving simply dull, without luster"......VERY well conceived and delivered dear poet sister!!......

Our Dear Lorna,
How wonderful to be in touch with you and Jason again. Linda's Birthday is tomorrow, and we can't think of a nicer gift that she could have received.
I will respond to your powerful words with a Haiku. (Just like old times, huh)
The brass have their gold
The poor-their pennies for life
Tarnished Angels
All our love,
Linda and Larry xxx
Thank you so much Larry
Love lorna xx
