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
With goods being unstandardized,
Barters quarrelsome prone to coming along with
Blows exchanged in between
A fool in need and the smarter.
Our hominide predecessors must have seen coming
The decline of morals with the spreading of the
Trading in all kinds of articles, and
Subsequently opted to leave the evolutionary field for newer
More sapient new-comer races, us faces, to take over
The commencing world of immense toil of commerce -
That we are still labouring with until this very day,
O poor vain human race!
When it should have long since been time to
Enter into the human race's
Higher, better game stages -
With no mare problems about wages!
Money actually had become fully redundant the day
That finally the various kinds of products for people to avail of
Were all of them commonly standardized everywhere through and through up to the last,
And easily to be distributed amongst all people thus justly,
Without the protecting umbrellas of money
Held over and above the heads participant in the barters.
Now in our world commercially so overheated,
All the products are not only all standardized, but they are also all
Supra-, hyper-, metastandardized,
Destandardized, transstandardized,
Transfixed all into something queer beyond the material appraisal
Under an odd gloom of a self-spinning net of
Grand commercial magic delusion -
Gone out of hands.
But the means of that old Babylonian barter trade solution,
That standardizer money they had then invented,
Is still found around until today,
And more so than ever,
Existing today but only to be a mere multiple nuisance factor,
Causing all of the above mentioned human idiocy
Centering around all things that
People manufacture for our 'each other's' use.
For balancing the deficiencies of standardization of goods,
What money was meant for in the beginning,
In this modern world there is no more need for.
What is most frightening about money today, I feel, is but the fact
That even until today, in spite of its actual being totally out of time meanwhile,
No one, not a single soul, but for my poor little self, ever
Dared to think or talk of
Abolishing that cursed money.
The Egyptians of humankind's younger eras would be laughing at us today,
Were they to take a look at
To what degree we moderns have allowed their good old money
To corrupt the human elements in a society's culture
Beyond any norm of intelligent practicality.
The people of the young flourishing kingdoms by the Nile
Had then been warning us already that
'Riches only then make sense
When they are applied to something.'
When will WE apply our wits and eventually do the necessary, and
Speed to abolishing redundant money?
Might it be too late one day?
And what disaster could this mean to the human race? !
We'd better start thinking of abolishing money
Before we might get caught in a
Final global human disaster.
Or after us will come a new deluge!
And we are condemned to come back by
The law of reincarnation!
