The concept of money

Money is a man-made commodity, which helps humans extend their validity

Money can be in any virtual form, with banknote and coin you can pass the storm

It’s name derives from “JUNO MONETA”, a Roman name of an ancient loleta

While silver and gold people adore, barter was the method used before

Money is the common way to survive, it allows mankind to live and thrive 

Is money a want, or is it a need, for those in power it’s purely greed

You can use it for charity, or spend it on yourself, or simply pay your taxes to the wicked elf 

Financial security is all that folks see, without your money where would you be
