I consider my position

then

by definition I have a place

a dedicated space of my own

a throne

not to be abdicated

but

vacated by negotiation

the only motivation

money...

    Sadly true, Stan. Money can everything, even if it is not for sale.

    Phew, I guess money makes the world go round, but where do we get the money? Who do we sell our soul to?

    the only motivation, money
    That line threw me for a loop. Not at all what I was anticipating. Sadly, I realize some function this way in the world.

    Truth can be ugly, even feel dirty at times. Doesn't make it any less true. Yes, this is sad, but also true for some,

    Ah, yes the almighty dollar. I really liked the sparseness and the way the rhymes surprised me.
