(48) Currency

(48) Currency.
Why is the printed paper frittering on the table?
in spite of the paper weight, weightless now,
to suppress the agitated note notable for its usage!
in its use there is this abuse and absolute misuse;
Can I compare to Cleopatra’s agitated moods to fly
with winged words and inroads into romantic rhapsody,
does it mourn the touch of the polluted hands
which repeat the parrot cry of sinned Macbeth?
Yet, it is more sinned against than sinning,
For people take for granted the note’s reticence,
A single note like the soldiers or battalions
In the war field, multiplies ,corrupts, corrugates,
acquires the name of munificence ,or miser,
whether rupee or Euro , ryal, or dollar or Dinar,
it rules the roost and acquires wide currency,
currency makes, mars, marriages and murders;
currency can play the role of Midas or black magician,
like the stringent God of Death, currency cares little for
emergency or urgency! If it cares-------------alas
it is not currency but the milk of rare human tendency!
Human tendency, humane buoyancy!
