Money why does the concept of money exist
Why did it replace bartering for what you need
Swapping wheat for apples that’s simple and honest
Each person is happy with the result

Money why do we need it at all
It complicates our transactions
Leaves them open to deception and fraud
No one is content with the outcome

Why do we use tokens instead of goods or services
Who decides the worth of the tokens
Why do we jealously hoard and protect our tokens
When they have only a perceived value

Money why do we struggle to accumulate it
To achieve some measure of financial freedom  
Only to see it come crashing down
Due to artificial revaluation of the tokens

Money is not the root of all evil it’s greed
The billionaires who want to dominate
To use their hoarded tokens to control
The lives of those they consider less than

Money another illusion of the matrix
Another link in the chain of enslavement
Work because Arbeit macht frei
And it’s all for the common good

Cash is king in my world today
Physical tokens for when digital inevitably fails or is not accepted
An untracked untraced transaction
Not true freedom but enough for now
