Best Currency Poems

You held me that day, wrapped me in your cocoon,
Waited patiently for me to grow my wings back.
You let me cry a salty puddle on your shirt,
Resting your puzzle-piece chin on my puzzle-piece head,
Rubbing my back in little circles that recharged me.
There is no currency...

Humanity would have solved many of its problems had used the currency of heaven: LOVE!

THE BANKSTERS LAUGHED WHEN THEY HEARD THE PLAN.
THIS PLAYED RIGHT IN TO THEIR HANDS.
DOES CRYPTOCURRENCY EVEN EXIST?
IS THIS SOMETHING I CAN GRIP IN MY FIST?
A CASHLESS SOCIETY, A MAGNIFICENT PLAN.
STEAL YOUR EARNINGS BECAUSE THEY CAN.
DON'T BUY SILVER DON'T BUY GOLD. 
IT'S NOT MONEY THE SHEEPLE...

Had a crazy dream last night

Dreamt I was living in a world

Where kisses were units of currency

First thing I thought of

Was that cute li'l cashier at Walmart

To pay for a $50 item

Would require 50 kisses plus the federal tax

Bringing the total to 60 smooches

I would...

Standing strong, running wild, [beat] flying free,
I wish I could afford that kind of dream, but
What's a man with misery as his currency?
And I know I've said a great many things,
Pockets full of promises I've yet to keep. 

IOUs too high to pay, don't got...

I like a global currency
I hate to convert money
In Laos
Wars are fought and lost
Over paper money
That is worth nothing
When are they making money
Out of rice
So more people can eat when they starve...

Met a hustler named,Funky Cold Cash,

who had a swagger his attitude matched

with buckets of ducats and white collar dollars,

i watched as his limousine crashed...

A
pound
Sterling –
two forty
Saxon hammered coins;
silver pennies or “little stars1”.

It
was
Offa
of Mercia,
eighth century king2,
first issued the silver penny,
and two hundred and forty weighed one pound or libra.

He
copied
the Roman
denarius coin
so one penny became “1d.”
and twelve of these equalled one solidus, or “1s.”

And
thus
became
L.s.d. –
Pounds, shillings and pence.

Sad

My mother used to say that you pay for what you get
Time is my currency
If you want my attention
Then you must buy my time

My time is too valuable
To be wasted on the young and foolhardy

I acceptable all forms of kindness, thoughtfulness,
Compassion, helpfulness, respectfulness, caring
And maybe...

Appropriated snatch of silver coins
A veritable gamble to grab bag the mantle
Circulating hand to hand, finger to dust
Or swirling computer screens reminding what must
Be sought constantly, human energy a fractional reserve
Digits that mine natural and mineral, crawling from sheet
If we could package and sell the...

I was what I was

Time plus life is Euro
Men in earth are without
Self and heaven love
Eating nut 
with this rear currency.

In life women have live. 
Living is a choic, life is a gift.

I salute michael...
He has spend sure his currency....well?

But life living with time
Need get give profit
Profit to heaven...?...

tides are turning
rolling over like souls in their graves
it's ok-it's ok-it's ok
just remember you're already saved
so   now what  are you
going to do with the rest of your day
now what have you got to say
when will you realize
with you're real eyes
WE 
we ARE...

Many of us are confused as to value, the convenience of money
O not long ago, GOLD was the real money, today "feelings" hold sway
No paper is wealth, except if it allows for BARTER (Covid-19 has a say!)
Every freshman ought to know: money are notes (promissory)
Your...
