Is It This Piece Of Paper?

A mere piece of paper

Divides the rich and poor

It causes wars and rebellions to break out

And lets discrimination and inequality soar

Is it this piece of paper,

That snatches opportunities from men of equal race?

Is it this piece of paper,

That reduces the hardship one has to face.

Is it this simple note,

That breaks the world in pieces?

Is it this simple note,

What separates bonds and relations alike?

Is it this designed bill,

What decides a person’s value?

Is it this designed bill,

That borders the two worlds?

We forget our life and soul

To run after this piece of paper

We forget humanity and kindness

In search of this treasured note

But to glance upon this world

We are all the same

Yet are being divided

In the valuable money’s name.
