MONEY TALKS

I have been flung
Into many a pockets before
And I shall travel 
Into a lot many more

I started out, shining
Straight out of the dream machine
Lost my light in time
And value to people I haven't seen

I'm a coveted fetish
To those who are lower still,
While I'm nothing more
Than kindness for restaurant bills

There are more sides
Between my ancient head and tail
Where desire sits naked
To watch reason and logic fail

I will not be enough
You will need many others like me
So when the going gets tough
Come to me for company
