PROGRESS


It is a world of illusion, 
A fantasy land of plenty;
Where prices keep going up, 
In illusory token money! 

The government keeps printing more and more, 
For money is the wealth you see; 
Till you have lots and lots of wealth,
But can't afford the bread you eat! 

Everything is priced in money, 
Which is but a piece of paper; 
It becomes cheaper to burn it,
To keep warm, for firewood costs more! 

And then the great reset happens, 
Money becomes those things that you own; 
Not paper conjured out of thin air,
Money is only silver and gold!
