Money is a balance act, paired in red and black
Sustained by faith in value with inherent value’s lack Money does not pay for things, but services instead Valued as a delegate for time another shed From a dollar each cent’s fraction will be sent wherever due To pay for someone’s something that one rathers they to do Whenever bought or borrowed, lent or sold will square the deal Nothing spawned from nothing, always loser to the steal As the lender tends extend a risk that given won’t return Demanding extra input against the output set to earn But paying more than borrowed adds more numbers than began So somewhere else must pay the piece that grows within the span This taking more than what is had extends beyond the first Until there needs more money if the sphere is not to burst With made up ways to try pretend that more of it is made While the value of the present piece proportionally decayed More must be persuaded to still spend and buy and borrow Pressured to consider now neglect respect tomorrow The world requires growth else the pyramids collapse Fed by base of debt accruing interest bleeds and traps The bubble blunders stumbles on unbalanced overburdened Hiding in a house of glass with every window curtained Bloated with the debt that builds beyond intended girth The total value known a fraction of what owed is worth All are born into this scheme, told to build it higher Place more bricks beneath the feet to raise the twisted spire Requiring constant growth delay the balance of the sheet Sustain the unsustainable, consent to the deceit
