There is no more a disheartening sound
Than the cash register without a penny around.
Digging into pockets, nothings found,
There is no more a disheartening sound
Swell of embarrassment, slowly drown;
Pauper of society, owning only a frown.
There is no more a disheartening sound
Than the cash register without a penny around.

Until the fact that we can't trade for goods is realised again, money sucks time away from our life, cause' we all need to eat. Nice feelings exhaulting the prime, please more

i must have been kinda whacked.. i was actually thinking that the cash register symbolized our hearts.. and how we become paupers when don't love and when are not loved.. anyway, really nice poem.. short and simple..

I hate the "no jingle" of a penniless pocket...nicely done...a rather familiar theme to me right now

Gloom,
you've done it again! Political comment with a sting about consumerism and the have nots. Well done!
