Joe Shmoe

Money
The universal object
Of envy and desire
For some it is also a measure
Of self respect 
And respect given 
Such that to bow down 
Before a billionaire or 
To shake hand with one
Will give them genuine pleasure

The difficulty lies in trying
To determine which of the two
Is more of a clown

A billionaire who thinks
He or she is superior
Or a Joe Shmoe who thinks
Billionaires are superior
