The Price of Every Penny

Tangible and destroyable in your essence,

Everyone forgets their values and morals in your presence.

For you are a moral of your own,

One whose color and face is constantly shown.

Leaving behind your taste on every tongue,

You are a bee that feels pleasant when stung.

The rich throw you without a thought,

And the poor want to steal you without getting caught.

You are the thirst that is never quenched,

You are the paper that is never drenched,

You are the player that is never benched,

You are the currency that continues to hinder obtaining clarity.
