ironic amendment
Starting an internship tomorrow working for a large nonprofit. I have no idea what I'll be doing exactly. At least I'll be getting paid, though not very much.
Here's some thoughts:
I hereby pen this ironic amendment
Those who got money got no time to spend it
Those with stomachs unsated for leisure
peck at their work with enormous displeasure
Money for work is how it's long been
And money goes not to the lover's of sin
it goes to the lover's of work, don't you see.
And that kind of lover, I'll never be
Remember, good folks, the ironic addendum
The riches belong to the folks who don't spend 'em
The richest man isn't the one with the sword
it's the square in the office who never gets bored.

Money is the barometer of a society's virtue.
Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.
Thanks, Ayn.
I don't think that the capacity to think is the same thing as virtue.
Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice--there is no other.
