Corrupt Currency


If I could change one thing, I would change currency

If I could change one thing, I would change the world's currency

I would change the currency to something more meaningful than money

money has no power, especially not morally

money has no power, especially not against me

money has no power, not against the determined

money has no power, not when it comes to self improvement

money has no power, no, none at all

at least it shouldn't because all it does is lead others to their down fall

If I could change one thing, I would change currency

If I could change one thing, I would change the world's currency

so that when we want or need something, we can get it without stealing or killing

the currency should be changed to good deeds

that way people can get things by helping people in need

that way people can spend more time doing things that matter rather than

trying to build skyscrapers and multi coomplexes that rob people of their homes

the currency should be changed to good deeds 

that way rather than finding ways to make our own lives more convenient

people can excel by conveniencing others

rather than being unecessarily harsh people can be lenient

currency should be something that cannot be ruined, lost or spoiled

currency should be something that cannot be torn, forged or traded

acts of kindness should dictate how prosperous you can live

acts of kindness should allow people to live large

while helping every one else do so as well

acts of kindness could keep this world intact

money just drives people to hell
