Money

If money didn't exist
how would the world change?
would everybody cope?
Would we come up with an exchange?

All the money men disappear
all the banks shut down
could we come up with a fair scheme?
or would everyone have a meltdown

We could find an impartial plan
where everyone is the same
where people swap like for like
it's run like a fair game

let's stop all the people
who grab and take without a care
they keep getting richer
and it's just so unfair

Yet, in 2021, parents are still selling/trading their children . . . . . .
