IMAGINE THIS LADY, GOLD IN HER EYES, NOTHING IN HER BRAIN.
“for the ladies Who Love Just for Money”
By: Pa Ousman barra Faal
She says,
“If he’s broke, I’m gone.”
“If he doesn’t drive, I move on.”
“If he can’t pay, he can’t stay.”
And she walks with pride like it’s okay.
Her phone is full of sugar calls,
Of “baby” texts and shopping malls.
Perfume strong, eyelashes fake—
But what’s the cost for what you take?
She tells herself,
“This world is hard.
A girl’s got to eat, play her card.”
But deep inside, she knows the deal—
That love like this can never heal.
A man buys time, not soul or trust.
And when he’s done, he leaves with dust.
Another comes, with cash in hand—
And still, she fails to understand.
She trades her smile for bills and gold,
But what about when she grows old?
When skin sags low, and charm runs dry—
Will money hold her when she cries?
She laughs at girls who choose for love,
Who walk with men not rich enough.
But deep inside, behind the mask—
She’s tired of always having to ask.
She thinks she’s winning in the game—
But hearts don’t thrive in shallow fame.
She’s not a fool, she knows the truth:
That money can’t restore her youth.
Where is the love that holds her name?
Not love of body, dress, or fame—
But love that sees her deepest part,
That wants her soul, not just her art?
She is a queen, but acts like pawn,
Forgets her crown, and plays the con.
But queens don’t beg. They build, they grow.
They don’t just smile for what men throw.
O sister, you were born with grace—
Not made for sale, not made to chase.
Your worth is not in cash or car,
But in your mind, your heart, your scars.
Choose a man who knows your truth,
Who sees the child in you, the youth.
Who stays when you have none to show—
Not just the ones who flash and go.
Money fades, and beauty bends,
But real love fights, and heals, and mends.
So if you’re loving just for gain—
Then you are building life on pain.
Stop. Breathe. Come back to you.
You still have time to start anew.
And when you do, you’ll come to see—
Love without price is what sets you free.
