"G"

G is for
ivory.
For diamonds,
For money,
For food in the
Starving mouth,
For black and shining oil.
For more, for more, for more.

G is for
Time.
For grasping
The minutes and seconds
In a slippery grip.
For want,
For desperation.
For more, for more, for more.

G is for
You and I.
For the lacquered past,
For the seeping present,
For the dangerous future.
My bread, your water,
Food for these starving lives.
For more. For more. For more.




Does anyone know what it is?

Love, Jennifer

Goodbye?

no, but that's a very good guess. the first stanza is most important to understand what it is, then the next two (hopefully) make sense once you know that. The last line is important.
