It could, but for a while

It could, but for a while

A Poem by Dominic Shaya

They said ' money can't buy happiness'
To me those were just but vain babblings of broke old b******s
I could get anything I wanted in a minute or less
Indeed, my company was comprised only of prominent men and masters
I had become allergic to losers, I rolled with the best
In my case money could buy happiness

It all happened too fast, out of thin air dark clouds gathered
All of a sudden my loved ones and so called friends left
My kingdom was falling, the once green leaves had withered
I was left in solitude as I lamented and wept
All those hours I put in, how hard I laboured
All of it, all of them, all of me, by the winds of change was swept
That's when I realised, money could buy happiness.....but for a while

That's a powerful picture you have painted for us. I enjoyed reading it, but I feel that better flow and word choice would help empower your writing more. You have lots of raw potential, though.
