No Poetry in Money Per Poet Robert Graves

by Elizabeth Nisperos

Last month April was National Poetry Month. I was reminded of the lines of
"There's no money in poetry. There's no poetry in Money" - Robert Graves



Why is there no poetry in MONEY?


 He counts,
   he flaunts;
   he pounds the XX, kicks and punches XX,
XY violates XX,
No poetry in Money when he  boxes XX,
Why,
No poetry in Money , INDEED!

He believes in matter, the MONEY sign.
depending purely on matter

His opponent believes in
anti-matter, the  spirit of the invisible, and heart.

Which one will prevail?
The heart has energy , tons of forces , atomic , nuclear though small.
May light prevails over MONEY.
