Battle not for red and blue
They’re both the same machine
The real choice that’s coming up
Is orange versus green
Bitcoin holds your value well
Come join the Bitcoin scene
Skip inflation’s stealthy theft
Choose orange versus green
From Iceland to Australia
And countries in between
People are awakening
To orange versus green
Money made by central banks
With printing that’s obscene
You can pick another way
Choose orange versus green
Break free from your assumptions
And question your routine
For everyone can benefit
From orange over green
Money that is only made
When banksters do convene
Is money that is broken
Choose orange over green
Every single passing day
Bitcoin’s stronger, come what may
You can join us, come along
Join the stable money throng
Every day, transactions sent
Bitcoin saved, or bitcoin spent
Every day now, someone new
Moves to Bitcoin - could be you
Start in easy, start in slow
Once begun, you’ll see it grow
Every day, just learn some more
Bitcoin opens freedom's door
Stack your bitcoin, every day
Start right now & don’t delay
Get out from inflation’s hold
Come and join the Bitcoin fold
When my working week is full yet my bank balance stays barren.
when we took a chance
our home we had to finance
lost our shoes and pants
read a manual
how to care for spaniel
name was daniel
sunday seems to be
day God made for you and me
all of us agree
great priest obtained
is official and ordained
give sermon voice sprained
stock market plummet
after it had reached summit
then bottom had hit
I m sorry I did it in frustration,
When the urge to malice transfer
Was an obsession
And I didn’t remember to with The Sober confer
I haven’t up till now paid for the jeans
You, unauthorized, copied their colour
And thought no good any more of the brown beans
You‘d mimicked their stylish pallor...
And you knew drop you wouldn’t a dime
For the enjoyed wonderful time,
Indeed, you were the sorry victim
And ‘luckless Hit Him’
Of my present sorry finance
And life’s mischance...
A chameleon in, any case, not a nice verse,
For the seeker of acceptance, fame in reverse
The House Guest
You found yourself in a bind
and ask me if I would mind
You say you need a place to stay
it would only be for one day
The day turned into nights
the nights turned into days
Your entire family is here
and drama is all that I hear
No room left for my thoughts
my stomaches tied up in knots
Kids screaming they want fed
and you never put them to bed
You show up with your brood
didn't even bring your own food
I run out to the store
but you want even more
Fighting you are up until dawn
oh how you carry on and on
No offer has yet been made
I am the only one who has paid
Before it was just me
now it's me and you times three
The place is such a mess
I don't need this distress
Expenses explode once more times four
Let me show you to the door
Dysfunctional you are with your spouse
Just get your family out of my house
Why would I work the eight year old asked me.
So you can live the life.
To eliminate strife.
How lame do you think I am? said Josie.
I’ll get paid not working without a fee.

Women Size 7, no preference at all. Anything would be wonderful.
It somehow seemed safe to depend on
The stock my life savings I’d spent on
Till a scandalous crash
Left me broke in a flash—
I wish I’d bought Apple, not Enron.

Male
A man who cares about tomorrow
Is certain the day will bring sorrow
So Trump's Golden Rule
Is, "Find any fool
And live well on all you can borrow!"
Who are these?
Pinstripe assassins,
That stride; self satisfied,
The world is theirs,
To do as they wish.
Sipping coffee,
From little white cups
Guardians of the system.
Soldiers of capital,
Unreal.
Who controls our banking?
Ruinous fees for money lending.
Who questions their investing?
Why so dear for money lending?
Who does profit from accounting?
Our finances they're controlling,
While our economy they're ruining,
They're amassing fortunes pecuniary,
Big business for them, commercially.
Let's questions their accountability
For our faceless Australian economy,
Profits overseas they're sending---
So much for Australian banking!!!!!!
HIGH FINANCE
there are some humans
who are much like cats and dogs
simple minds abound
people will pay big money
and just to have them around
