Fiat money and central banking Bring about perverse incentives Such as stealing via debasement, Economic manipulation & distortion To benefit those in power and control, & Seeking unearned money (seigniorage) Therefore We need a system with only aligned Incentives, where rewards are based On work and value delivered to others, Price signals are true and accurate, & Assets are assets, & money is money Bitcoin establishes aligned incentives

Aligned Incentives (Bitcoin Poem 117) Problems/Solutions 31
"Follow your dreams" Well, okay My dreams are nightmares Rather not bring them into the light of day I don't see the benefit But anyway, I'm on my way When I crash and burn Then what will you say? ©2024

~•§•~ Good Intentions ~•§•~
You make me feel like I'm... A test dummy A punching bag An excuse The reason The fault at fault Wrong The wrong one A mistake, Possibly your biggest ever The bet you now wouldn't take The "if only I hadn't..." Bad in hindsight A wrong you had to right The time that's never right Time you'll never get back Someone you need to get over, Move on from And leave in the past The pain in your a§§ The last time Never gonna happen again Someone who benefited from you being in the wrong state of mind Your weak moment Your young and dumb years, if you will ...shall I go on? ©2024

~•§•~ Benefit of the Doubt ~•§•~
He asked about me in the first meeting. he was so curious to know the whole time, we were talking. what should I tell, what should I hide? my life is so confusing it never was a joyride. being emotional, I end up hurting. I am not the one who loves flirting. believe in giving all or nothing every time it's easy for me to trusting. failed so many time yet not learning, As soon as I become comfortable life starts turning. got ditched so many times still friendly. Always fall in Pitts more than deadly Low in confidence, thinking negative. serve myself for people to take benefit. knowing yet not doing anything for the betterment world is moving fast and talk about empowerment. with all these flaws I still, love myself those who cheat will pay themself. I won't change, I never become you. will always be loyal and to myself true.

At times refrain to grow with age Forbear the fruit enjoy the strain Much be learnt in controlling pain Plenty to benefit from temporarily being empty Mind regroups with a system cleanse Body allowed to make amends Fasts don't last but our choice remains and will sustained

Abstain
We are done. I will no longer sit idle. I will not wait for my friends to get hurt. It is long past due, we will not tolerate it any longer. Do not make up excuses, listen to what your friends tell you, do not give the benefit of the doubt; they do not deserve it. If they make you feel unloved, belittled, ignored, hurt, unsafe, come to me. If they call you names ***** ***** disposable, immature, a child, come to me. Tell, if you wish, all of how they have done you wrong. Tell me, and I will tell you. Dump Them. Gone is the time of "It's none of my business" Gone is the time of "It's not your relationship" Gone is the time of "No one asked for your opinion" That is my friend, and I will no longer sit and let my friends be hurt.

IT IS TIME.
I don’t write right, I don’t speak neat, I write what I speak, Leaving error for unique, I don’t care to be fair, And fair isn’t there, In the battle of scare or be scared, I fear the fears, Fears that encapture slow, Slow and arrogant, To put on a snare and show, Slow is nasty, Nasty is the only thing I see, In the world of winning, I don’t write for you, I don’t write to read, Don’t tell me I write wrong, These words are wrote to be freed, Not for your benefit, Yet you still convince my mind, There is something wrong, Wrong to be kind, Wrong to be in need, But I’m not listening, Grab my pitchfork, Grab moreso the pen, Write from the hell, Find it within and carve the shell, Hide it within a sin, And watch the world it’s emerged in.

My Never Ending Hell
You submit yourself to a lifestyle You guarantee yourself to a good time Where love and lust only share a letter in common Where their uncommon association is their juxtaposition Where both can live in dimensions that are parallel But you won't be saved by the bell It rings to say that you're lying to yourself But you won't be saved by the bell It yells to tell you that it doesn't suit you well You need to realize that love and lust share more than you wish they did That both combined make up what you need That lust alone makes you think of love Even in the most meaningless and heated moments of fun And that love alone makes you think of lust Even in the most intimate moments of affection

Calm down; breathe slow if you need to just let it go. Don't let your crown fall not even a little bit, don't give them the benefit.

I'm a girl, I have the benefit over boys. Everyone will accept my friendship, While yours will be questioned. I may not be as good as you, But I have the benefit over you. I'll always be a victim, While you remain culprit. Even if I don't get the justice, You will be shamed in public. Society may call me names, But you are not as free as you think, The love of your life may never, Give you a chance forever. Her life will be changed by your fellow, She will question your intention, And pull the arrow, It'll hurt and you'll see the shackles. I'm a girl, I have a benefit over you, I will be forgotten, But you will be shamed, If something happens, they'll call your name. I'm a girl, I will either fight to live or fight to die, But you'll never see me cry, And you'll die under the burden of my cries.

The Gift Of Life (Acrostic Poem)
She sold flowers atop my cigarette’s sting, And soiled steppe - A path splattered someone, Clocks kept prior and piano strings. She’d be my last resort, Parallels bottled – Two-tight braids, Scarred upper lip and eyes deep, Diggin’, diggin’ deep into me. She’d **** if she could, But money met is money spent, And knifes in backs are bad for business, So she’d always be mine. That said, I’d always be hers, Scampered, sleepy, and with one drunken Right eye to wander east come Sin under satin. But the hour’d arrive, “One” becomes, And the breeze would do what it does – I’d see the sea, the sky, and lastly to hear, She’d set up shop elsewhere; She’d be happy, he’d be happy, And I’d be somewhere sullen, Somewhere awful, somewhere scribbled, An echo and if only, a stain upon her altar.

John and Jane and John again
I keep you near You give words to my thoughts You name them You give me something to write about Something to feel I keep you near For my own benefit To pain and revolve me I keep you near Not for love For my interest Because you give me a reason To aspire To conquer Oh yes I keep you near For the same selfish reasons as you To satisfy my ego To build myself up I keep you here Till you grow out of me Till I'm too big you won't fit I keep you near I keep you near indeed

To my benefit
Let's start with the good, When I asked if I should. Should I pursue, and give myself to you? A friend is a friend, but when you kissed me; You pulled out a part of me you don't deserve to see. I held your soft hands and held your sea green gaze, I looked to your soul and saw flashes of pain, flashes of beauty and a glimmer of hope; Hoping that we were not meant to be. The guy you pulled out with a kiss is a fool, a sucker for love and an ignorant tool. He played by your rules and he kicked your *** Don't prey on the good men who still have some class. I admit that the things that I told you were bad, and sorry, not really, for making you sad, I'll miss being able to call you my buddy; You get what you give when you're selfish and slutty.

Get What You Give
Here was a human animal, most kind, With a sword for the heart of kindness, Any that came from a place of deceit. Are you true to yourself?   Say, or no, and be quick. If she told you she cared, or not at all, Then you had good cause to believe, That she meant it- every word unspoken, Or none, as the case may be... The world built a challenge, In pretense and sloth. She gave it the finger and Bang-  Took the day. If the night was a struggle, she never did show it, She made it look easy anyway. She appeared in the masks we all have to wear. A voice from behind spoke at last. Speaking grace through atrocity, reliance on self, And she never once spoke of the past. This most human animal, in touch with the world, Most kind in the offing, decay for the wood, Preserving a cycle, flesh beetles contented, That life destroys, as well, to create. So the life that relentlessly comes, now must go. I can’t tell you a thing, You don’t already know.
