Money


money isn’t hard to understand
it’s only paper
it’s less than paper
it’s numbers
rain on a window
makes money silly
nothing of value in this universe
can be quantified
and printed as money
for the acquisition of guns
people kill for money
with meaningless jobs
money isn’t even paper anymore it’s pixels
algorithms dividends derivatives
a poem has far greater value
even a lousy poem
about work
in a meat packing plant
debt is insane
medicine and education should be free
or the limbs grow gangrenous
a giant rises from the shadows
and eats his young
