Making money was
never my original
plan---though I must say

It's not a bad one.
Me, I just like moving the
rich colors around.

The author's comments:
Not that being broke is fun or having money means you "sold out", but I just feel that some people forget the reasons they do the things they love, because they worry about money. Don't get me wrong, money is something to worry over. But we must remember that it's not the most important thing.

I love this! The title is dramatic yet doesn't take too much attention away from the poem itself. Great work altogether.

Please read, rate, and comment on my poems! Thanks!

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

This is a good little poem. It seemed a bit lacking in length, though not very much. I like the concept though.
