Corrupted Valentine

When you’re a billionaire
you can treat money like glass beads
you use to trade with the Indians
for huge pieces of real estate
but you lose touch with not having
little things and with lost
satisfactions that keep you
aware of your immortality
but when you’re a billionaire
and a genius it’s both
worse and better – now
you’re willing to give away
some of your money
but only to people who
do what you say or want
greed corrupted by power
as is consistent with the gospels.
