The Dollar Bill
October 26, 2022
Who has touched this dollar bill?
Many people,
it has passed from one hand
to the next,
wrinkled and worn in sweaty jean pockets,
stolen and retrieved by rich from poor
But this is all from before
After gold laid rest,
and the British befallen,
After oil boomed fast,
and the bomb that blew a fest
the dollar who buried families
too many with sin
But glory be begotten
in time it will be forgotten
For the dollar be worth
no cent it was before.
And now, who touches
no plague be warned next
For the dollar now rests,
in no hands that bless.

The dollar bill represents the entirety of currency from its birth into an aspiration for its future. Money and wealth has created conflict, but this poem expresses the hope that one day wealth will no longer be a something people desire.
