Give Me Your Money

"Money, it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit!"
- Pink Floyd -

Such great lyrics coming from a little known band from

England.

Did we ever find out which one was
Pink?

Money is quite a hit,

not only in this country,

but around the world too!
Everyone wants the power
Money
gives.
Even religious groups.

Don't believe those

Zealots

who want to heathenize anyone who don't believe in their particular

God.

"They are not doing it for God, but for the power, control, and the money!"

If

ISIS

kills someone because of their religious beliefs,

do you really think they just leave behind all their worldly possessions,

wealth,

and land for the victim's kinfolk to come back

and claim?

No,

they confiscate it all to show their power over others,

to fund their

Shayṭān

inspired war,

and to scare others into doing their bidding.

(In Islam, Shayṭān means Devil.)

They might say that their

Jihad

is in the name of

Allah,

but then why would a Spiritual Leader like

Ruholiah Khomeini

put himself as ruler of

Iran

after the fall of

Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi?

Money,

Power,

and to

Control the Lives of Millions of People,

that's why.

Some Spiritual Leader.

Bah,

Humbug!

We teach our children,

at the very earliest age possible,

the value and different denominations of coin

and paper money.

We do this under the disguise of,

"so the kids learn what money is used for in life,"

but quickly turns into our reward system for them.

Because,

they quickly realize that a pat on the back can't buy them gifts at the

Dollar Store.

And Money will always be a way for a an ordinary guy to look good to good looking women.

Just the other day,

I was on my walk,

rounding a cul-de-sac,

full of kids playing.

Their ages differed,

but the two oldest was a boy

and girl around ten years old.

The girl wasn't paying much attention to the ten year old boy,

until he pulled out his secret weapon.

He flashed maybe six dollars to her

and she started smiling.

I cannot tell you what happened further.

It would have been creepy for me to stick around

and sit down to watch them.

But her smile said it all.

I knew what

Money

meant to those two kids.

Money is a hit.

I just wish using it to help others wasn't,

"do goody good bullshit!"

This is,

The Former Idealistic Hippie,

And,

“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.”
