Funny Money

He (or She) who shares the most 
Shall be praised as the host of hosts 
Those who share over, above and beyond 
Will be sung as heroes in the song of songs 
If money was slippery and runny 
And not rightfully labelled the wrong of wrongs 
Give honey instead of paper or coin bits 
Give poo if that is all that will do 
For everyone to get a clue 
Let go of the green goblin that eats us alive 
Empty our pockets of all government goo 
That's been stuck there for centuries 
Trapping our bodies, minds and souls 
Like flies in invisible glue 
Weed all laugh that once there was thought 
Peoples with halves and have nots 
Giggle at hording what everyone's got 
Freed from greed when no ones in need 
When codependency on money is gone 
When everyone shares, everyone cares 
Everyone everywhere stops 
Locking their doors anymore 

Ony then, 
Will there be no more need 
For lawyers or laws 
Applauding because 
Enlightenment's come to us all 

Ha!
