What I would do for my favorite color green?
I would do anything for me favorite color,
I would anything for just a dollar,
When a man gives me a holler and job,
I’ll mob the scene looking for my favorite color green,
I don’t mind being mean,
For my favorite color green,
You would have forgotten you ever had seen me,
Because of my favorite color green,
I would do anything for me favorite color,
Green,
The scent burns the nostrils, as it smells so unclean,
But no matter its still great still green to me,
I don’t care how I got it,
Or how it got there,
All I know is I want it,
No matter what.
My favorite color is so important to me,
Where would I be without the green,
Where would I be without being on the scene,
I don’t care to clean up this mess,
Just give me the green,
I’ll do anything,
Even steal a ring so I could get some more green,
I would kill someone,
Over my favorite color green,
I would rob my own son,
Over my favorite color green,
Now what I have done,
I will not regret,
So let me god,
Have some more green,
Because without it I would have no worries,
I would have no troubles,
And human conflict would slowly decline,
Everyone would be equal in kind,
Oh, how I love my favorite color green.
Author notes
I took a diffrent person's prespective, I would never rob my own son or kill a person, this was meant to kind of it what a number of people do for money, and I think its horrible. Its not meant to be a slam but pretty much of a reminder about how far money goes.

Yes, money will give you the world and destroy your soul, and then you will lose the world anyways. Lovely huh? I like this poem. It rings true on many levels, and keep up the good work! Best of luck in the future.
