*You should have pasted the poem here since the link may has suspicious scary pop-ups.

Theme: The importance of money as a medium of exchange:
-money is the root of all evil YET it is also the root of prosperity
*
To many, money is everything
You cannot get many things done without money
Many have pondered and contemplated to ask
Can human beings live without money?
Then, how shall we determine and decide
The prices of individuals and materials
Differences between the rich and the poor
Are calculated in monetary terms
The power bestowed by money
Seems bigger than imagined
*

I thought this poem was very interesting.
Yes it is Stating the obvious...but in many ways that is a good thing simply because it is such a controversial issue. Sometimes the obvious has to be stated to get the point across. Due to the way Our world and Capitalism runs it is very clear to me that many people do not see what really is 'obvious.' If they did then this issue would not exist in the first place.
I think this poem is very strong and clear!
