economy model

paper money worthless.less and less.
so folk look to longer lasting metals
gold teeth.braces.grills.bling.hanging jewelry god
to show they are as valued and as valuable
yet there is fool's gold-futures/stocks
in worthless mining companies/imaginary Kruggerands
stacked in vaults in Fort Knox-heavy as water
sinking in debt.Yet there are those who digest value-
they eat gold flakes on rice,make gold clothes/art
smith like Salvador Dali in silver/to make more out of less
I will not sing for silver nor for gold.I hold metal as Vulcan
Molten moments more valued than ownership,domination,possession
All these metals will live long after we are gone
Each golden bird of morning knows-life is a song!
