The Abolition of Money 


We are told, from our youth, that money is natural
Necessary, good, and of primary concern
But it only exists because humans won’t share
So all one can do is steadfastly earn
Indeed, without money all people would hoard
To be done with it all we all yearn

Perhaps there could instead be an alternative
Perhaps some new novel system
Perhaps it could be a complex ledger of sorts
The debts, the taxes – who will miss them?
It would limit the goods a person could acquire
And hoarding would perforce be stemmed

With these vast improvements, it seems possible
That economic sharing could work
Humans would see that hoarding just hurts
But success in the shadows does lurk
We could share commodities and services
There certainly would be some perks

We could do away with all forms of money
And radically streamline affairs
The economy robust, A.I. does the work
And instead of just putting on airs
We could make real change, a truly new world
With everyone having a share

These are all very nice suppositions to make
But in fact, it would fall quite apart
A new currency would arise, somehow
Some manipulation of the ledger for a start
And humans are not, simply not geared to act
In ways altogether quite smart

I do not know what transformation’s required
For anthropoid conduct to improve
I suppose it could be quite as simple as this:
Some of the glands you remove
And boost the IQ average up fifty points
And we might enter in some new groove

In the end, I’m afraid, my suggestions must
Be confined to future eras
The collective IQ seems only to go down
And we’re confronted daily with new terrors
It’s a nice dream to have, perhaps get there one day
But such blessings are not nigh for Terra

Manifest Destiny


“Manifest destiny” never did die
It’s now directed up toward the sky
It’s based on a tendency ever to expand
And for this, dear Mother cannot quite stand
We expand, we conquer, we quest, we consume
And Earth’s turning into an over-hot tomb
It goes all the way back, ten thousand years
Our one little culture, and all of the tears
This culture has ever and always expanded
And right about now a few are being stranded
In any case, most cultures are quite sustainable
But then, most others are quite containable
Not we! To the Moon! To Mars! And beyond!
With technology vast areas will become as a pond!

But hold on, I say, just wait a hot minute
I mean, really, down here we are just about finished
To “jump off” and continue our torrid behavior
Would require the aid of a rather skilled Savior
Ecology applies everywhere in Nature
So cultures unsustainable can’t reach fullest stature
Running out of resources, or running into the ground
Is not the way for civilization to stay sound
Perhaps “manifest destiny” is peculiar to us
If we forever go off-planet, it’s bound to be a fuss
‘Cause all we’ll do is pollute and ruin world after world
And our destiny will in ignominy be fatally unfurled
