5 pennies in a nickel…
10 pennies in a dime…
25 pennies in a quarter…
100 pennies in a dollar…
Each penny plays a particular part in
the grand scheme of economic "advancement"
Money is exchanged.
It comes…
It goes…
Some people see its worth,
while others don’t.
It makes people happy,
But then again,
It only brings sadness at the same time.
It's counterproductive.
Over the counter, at the minimum wage shopping center,
Minimal glances are changed,
For minimal durations…
Each penny is a part of a whole…
There’s a price to be paid…
It moves into the hands of another.
