Poem -
$$$ With or Without $$$
Where would we be without money
We'd have to learn to trade,
We'd have to help our neighbour
And know we wouldn't get paid,
We wouldn't have high fashion
Or fancy cars to drive,
We'd do a lot of walking
More people would survive,
We'd have to talk to family
And meet with all our friends,
We couldn't travel very far
And then it all depends,
By going back in time to live
Was simple but defined,
The dollar changed the way we live
The future now unkind,
Family values hard to find
Our social lives enhance,
The more we make of a dollar bill
We risk it all to chance.

Excellent poetry angel
Thank you Angel!
Hi FAITH!!..... that's a pretty interesting way of looking at it......I mean bartering could only go so far.... but the way we evolved into cities etc....... The government eventually had to distribute notes based on the national treasury and its gold reserves...... in order to avoid chaos and maintain a sense of fairness.... money became a necessity...... But I love the creativity of your write...... touching on days of old.......ALL STARS!!...... cool stuff dear poet sister!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!......T xo ❤?
Awe thx Tony. We are so spoiled but yet the money controls us so sad. Xo
Very interesting stance on Money and how it has changed life, more for the worse than better. I won't go into my details about how the capitalist system can be easily broken if the ultra-wealthy did the right thing, not by simply helping the poor with aid, but by funding projects and safety nets to prevent poverty! Really resonating write. Enjoyed!
