free money

nothing comes of nothing
a man in a suit festooned with characters
no matter how colorful
cannot make manna fall from the sky
or solve the problems of the world
as the thousands who buy his book
will soon realize

Each morning with swaying intonations
I pay to fall in love
to feel happy
and live out the days of my live in peace
I hope I am filling my “account”
faster than I make withdrawals
because, like my oddly dressed friend knows deep down,
there are no shortcuts to paradise
only a long and bumpy road.

P.S. DO NOT BUY HIS BOOK!!!
