Poem
The primate, loves to show himself off very much, brags about his accomplishments as to being the most intelligent living being on the earth; he is overly proud about himself for his achieved material abundance through inventing Money and development of convenient and comfortable living habitats with it. In so doing, man has become Money’s slave. Although Money does all kinds of indecent things; mounts high on this most intelligent but cowardly creature’s back fluttering a banner of arrogance, Money even lashes the creature; the creature swallows an insult adding zeroes to the note each time Money lashes him. I wonder why the creature submitted to Money, abandoning his pride and dignity. His ancestor hundreds of thousands of ages ago who crossed the water in very remote antiquity, rowing a boat in the heavy mist to arrive here has carried more zeros then the note he held. He keeps adding more to his note accepting lash after lash of humiliation. Although it’s about time to stop adding zeroes to the note the creature overly attracted to Money begins to recite a spell no one would understand, offering a bribe and bowing to an idol made of gold. Bribery is an added function of Money and is invisible; no one sees who offers or who receives it. The certified check: with many more zeros printed on it than the notes offered to the idol; will be awarded to the spell-chanter’s hand as a reward for the number of incantations he uttered and bowed to the idol. The idol: that is able to conceive the meaning of the spell is smiling because the bribe is a windfall; income to one who sits in the chair comes with power, and is like a never-drying well in the wilderness. Above all, it’s sweeter then honey. That’s why the idol eats gluttonously. A swarm of flies comes and lick the undigested food, mixed with Money and the many zeroes he vomits.
