Calculator

I get phone calls in Spanish, Korean,

Chinese, and many other languages.

The world is a crazy open market,

raucous cacophony as Plato said,

nightmare of unadulterated noise.

Snoring is sweet music compared to that.

All is for sale, especially your mind.

The worship of Mammon occurs daily.

Your electricity cries for money…

Your email is full of spam invoices.

Thieves are trying to hack your banking account.

*

Less than one percent read a poem each day.

Gratitude is the currency of life….
