money madders - an art work by T Newfields money madders

money is a language
wuth a streinge vucabulary
as coins click 'n computer screams
kalculate digital blips
the weirdest thangs becum possible
if cents muttar more thyn sanse.

money is a contrulled substance
whach makes people believe
averything has a prace tag
which kun be exchanged in a blink.

muney is a manure
which works best whun well-spread
'n exposed ta clear sunlight
rathur than rottin' in bank vaults
serving only the dead

Wull we learn ta transcend owa fiscal lust &
uppreciate life with faith, compassion, & trust?

The future ah humanity
banks on tha answer
