Money

the invisible chains that hold and bind us .
that impossible Webb which those who control its tensions scuttle , hunt and prey on the trapped ! .

The retardant which holds all of people-kind back from becoming so much more.

this fabled glass ceiling if we are to evolve 
‘must be smashed and as a race of beings therefore climb up together 
into the light of freedom and meaningfully reacquaint ourselves  with our limitless potential.

And so mote it be

It reminds me of how elephants are trained using a stick when they are small. When they grow up the person is still able to control them with that small stick. I believe humans are very much the same.
