Borders and Dollars

Where is the border?
What?! You don't see it? It's right there!
But that ant, he just crossed 'ere nary a care!
Yes...not smart enough to do as told
or where not to go-
not enough brains to pay heed to invisible lines
drawn in 'Greed Green'-
the Crayola tint plebeians being most unaware
with not even a hint.
You can't burn dollars! You're breaking the law!
These pieces of paper fresh from press?
98% value gone with the gold;
why, I'm burning nothing- I couldn't care less!
You're insane! That's damn good money!
I'M insane? Federal Reserve Notes are hollow,
propped on YOUR faith-
THAT'S really funny!

I'm a little bit confused on the boet thing you guys have. Lol
Also things like this are quite absurd, but for some idiotic reason, essential to a poorly-insured archaic system. The only reason why capitalism is successful is because of greed(and not the kind enforced by it), in that those in capitalist society can relish in the joys of what is available to them, video games, cinema, musics beyond count, heck, you name it. While the poorer countries in the world suffer in their place, as wealth is not available to all. It's a balance, and the balance heavily tips down toward the western world. Shame though, because ignorance in media and stubbornness will prevent any attempts to rectify the situation. Despite that, one should keep making a conscious effort to alleviate the suffering. It needs to happen.
Great write though Invierno.
All the best. |

I would say as others just did
how absurd it is
Why the whole of central and south America
and all the jewels that surround the body of great lands
on the east side of the great continents
north and south are somehow not clearly
spoken of in any whole measure
money, sure, with it you can get anything
it seems
all the resources you really don't need
to waste
and the ones you do need ironically
you neglect by far the most
It truly wasn't that long ago when the majority here in the U.S. couldn't read or even understand the concept
of what money meant
I guess we all sidestepped around that right
quick, and quite possibly with much
regret --- at least one would hope!
It's easy to be lazy like that
It's easy to miss the boat
it's easy too for groups of people
to become divided even in one
single house.
yes we need each other
more not less
yes
Invierno, yeah !!! This one put a smile on my face!
Peace!
