I was never any good
at monopoly
to buy or not to buy
wiping people out
to my young heart the game was vulgar
much like
the business of my life today
Cutthroat baby
go for the juggler
me
no
I’m no good at that
integrity means something to me
honesty
is really is all you have
thievery is not even an option
cheating
couldn’t even do it with monopoly money
last of a dying breed
never make it
probably
‘cept I gotta pay the mortgage
and I gotta buy the groceries
and I gotta keep the lights on
so those pretty words like integrity and honesty
I reckon are just words
and I’m thinking
I gotta GO TO JAIL card
due up
real soon
monopoly much like real world
sucks
go to jail
go directly to jail
do not pass
go
you just gotta do
the right thing
so
there goes the deal
down the toilet
maybe a loser at monopoly
but never
a loser at life
I’m telling ya
I was never any good
at
monopoly
Darling, just buy up the orange & red corner properties, you will CONQUER!!! All your other sentiments here are very cool & noble. If a few less people cheated & stole, more people would be happier all around. At the end of the day integrity is all we have...K.K.

Imagine giving up who we are - priceless in our creation - for mere money, the stuff of human creation. Imagine trading the devine for the corrupt.
Christ said it best
Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's (money)
Give unot God what is God's (your soul)
BTW one of the most misused pasages from the bible to justify tithing - what in the world does God need with money anyway?
So I guess you can see your poem got me all riled up :) Well Done
