Worth

Everything is valued
For what people say it’s worth
The roads are made of pavement
About as valuable as dirt
Anything can make a road
Diamonds even gold
But what matters is its value
Declared by the amount for which it is sold
But if everything was switched
Maybe just for a day
Would roads be made of diamond?
Would rings be made of clay?
Would the poor eat like the wealthy?
The wealthy like the poor?
If money was worth nothing
Would we work anymore?
The world could be destroyed
Or it may be saved
If we redefined value
Just for a day
This poem is about:
My community
My country
Our world
