Mammon, n.: The god of the world's leading religion. The chief temple is in the holy city of New York.
Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare,And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.
The new colonialism takes on different faces. At times it appears as the anonymous influence of mammon: corporations, loan agencies, certain ‘free trade’ treaties, and the imposition of measures of ‘austerity’ which always tighten the belt of workers and the poor.
Mammon led them on—In vision beatific.
Who sees pale Mammon pine amidst his store,Sees but a backward steward for the poor.
I rose up at the dawn of day,—This is the throne of Mammon grey."
Cursed Mammon be, when he with treasures He lays for us the pillows straight.
We cannot serve God and Mammon.
What treasures here do Mammon's sons behold!Yet know that all that which glitters is not gold.
