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
