Banknotes
Do you use more paper money in your dealings or less?
Black, brown, yellow, white
And red are the paints
That tint the canvas
Of humanity.
Currencies come in
More colors: blue, green,
Pink, to state a few.
Why don’t we see the
Colors of money
Instead of hues of
Skin? As paper cash
Becomes a thing of
The past, we can at
Least celebrate its
Once dominant hold
On our culture. The
Rappers who hold large
Stacks of dollars to
Their ears, and the glut
Of bills that rain down
From ceilings so that
The many might clutch
Them. We should always
Remember that cloth
Makes up most banknotes.
That’s the real fabric
Of our lives. Even
If all those dollars
Were to disappear,
We could still see their
History and just
Reflect on their might.
