ohh Geez!!!

I thought the first poem was interesting. It was pretty deep and fairly clever, the more i read into it. Money itself is so influential. It is a huge part of everyday functioning. It can be looked at in so many different ways, good and bad. One might say that it is just a means by which we survive, while another might say that i would marry money if i could. okay so i'm exaggerating a little bit, but you get the point. How cool would it be if we just bartered to survive. just trading back and forth. It would change things quite a bit i would imagine. It might get a little confusing at times. I think using money as a medium is a pretty good way of doing it overall. Money is power in a lot of ways. Either it works in your favor or not. Many people's economic status is directly affected by their amount of money or lack thereof. It comes and goes just like that.

its amazing how much we take our possesions for granted. Its amazing how much we miss something once we have to go without it for a while.

the media uses artwork all the time to sell us stuff and try to get us to think a certain way. just think of advertising. Politics are a huge part of art. Everything now a days has to do or is influenced by politics. We just can't escape it.
