I aim to shatter the illusion
of the quality of money’s embrace
-no matter its finesse
Even as a masterful lover
it has no empathy for your cri de coeur
-its catalogue littered with broken hearts
…marked by the brevity of its vows

You went at that one, Cri de Couer indeed..lol. The point finely honed and presented in a wonderful wrapping. True since the beginning of men and will probably be true to the end. Great writing!!!
