Dumping The Biggest Multiple Nuisance Factor

User Rating:

  Money is today's world's biggest multiple nuisance factor.

Money had been invented and introduced to be used
As a common standardizer in our ancient forefathers'
World of simple tradings
When the value of goods were hard to be measured, and
Barters led to quarrels coming along with
Blows exchanged in between
Fools in need and the smarter of the many.

Our hominide predecessors must have seen the coming of
The decline of morals along with the spread of
Trading with all kinds of articles, and
Subsequently opted to leave the evolutionary stage for the
More sapient new-comer races, us faces, to take over
That commencing world of immense toil of commerce -
Which we are still labouring with so hard until this very day,

O poor vain human race!

While long since it should have been time to
Enter into the human race's
Higher, more advanced game stages -
With no mare problems about these wages!

Money actually should have become fully redundant the very day
That finally all the various kinds of products
For people to avail of
All of them were commonly standardized everywhere on the globe
Through and through up to the last notch,
As is being the case these days,
Things thus rendered very easy for level distribution amongst all,
Without any need for protectionism through
A go-in-between buffer such as posted by money
Hovering over and above all heads involved in human barters.

Now, in our world commercially so overheated,
All the products are not only all but standardized,
They are well all
Supra-, hyper-, metastandardized,
As transstandardized
Transfixed all into values of odd numbers
Beyond a rational, strictly material appraisal,
All of which is happening
Under a gloomy, self-spinning net of
Grand commercial magic delusion -
Over time gone totally out of hands.

While that emergency means as the solution to the
Old Babylonian barter trade,
The faculty of money they then had invented,
Still loiters about until this very day,
- Even more so than ever -,
Existing today but only to be a mere multiple nuisance factor,
Causing all kinds of human idiocy
Centering around all things that
People manufacture to provide for each other's use.

Since for balancing the householding difficulties and the
Deficiencies in estimating the values of all goods,
What money was meant for in the beginning,
There is no more need in this modern world.

Most frightening about money, I feel, is but the fact
That even until today, in spite of its actually having lived way beyond its peak time,
No one, not a single soul, but for my poor little self, ever
Dared to even think or talk about
Eventually doing away with this cursed money.

The Egyptians in humankind's younger eras would have been laughing at us today,
Were they to have come to see
To what degree we moderns have allowed their good old money
To be corrupting the human element in a highly cultured society
Beyond any norm of intelligent practicality.

Those people of the young flourishing kingdoms by the Nile
Had already then been warning us that
'Riches only make sense
When they are applied to a good cause.'

When will finally WE apply our wits and
Eventually do the necessary, and
Rush to be abolishing redundant money?

Might it come too late one day?
What disaster could this possibly mean for the human race? !

We'd better start thinking now of how to be getting beyond money
Before we might be getting caught in a
Final global human catastrophe.

Or our children might experience a new type of holocaust, man-made, but
Working its ravaging way through sickened nature,

While it will be our lot to be returning to this intelligent civilization
Time and again
By way of
The law of transmigration!
