I've Had Enough

by @Axiana

Paper notes are nothing without the air that fuels their journey From hand to hand, money to palm, no, I want that inbetween That fair exchange, that feel good feeling. I have faith in that ease. But you are blind to what I see You believe it's brought everything, this paper wrapped in thorns. Independence, equality and within us, no judgement or scorn I laugh even though it hurts from the lungs you've torn Your air isn't fit to breathe anymore From firestarters to materials, from nowhere at all to experiences The answer lies not within the devious So I wait A precarious balance to one day think you can pay off fate You hold it tight, until the moment comes. Through snow, through sleet, sunshine and rain. You'll have that goodie today. And nothing can stop you but a lack of change. When life and death is trivial, you can hear the quarters coming You're full to the brim with it But it's nothing. An overflow of twinkling coins and shiny bills It's the journey, the reward, that brings those thrills. I want to remove the middle man, the mad man, the money mind-set banned And instantly connect those two generous hands Together we'll make it happen, let's start with a global call Inexpensive and cheap, abundance and freedom is solved Monsanto the monster hiding beneath our countries bed The internet our new best friend It is our turn now, to bring this to an end Poverty and addiction is a just a bad dream, wake up! It's never too late to have had enough
