“And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can. <br />For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand, poor boy, the only things that I understand” Hoyt Axton <br /> <br />She’s not a guitar player nor a folk singer, <br />She is a model modeling clothes. <br />She is very well-versed in her money that she makes, <br />It is pity she is not in charge of our fiscal policy, <br />She knows what Federal Reserve knows. <br /> <br />The dollar was taken off the gold system under Nixon, <br />The dollar was traded for other instruments, Marks, Pounds, Yen, and the lot, <br />Long before the Euro was in place, <br />The artificial economy that the USA had perpetuated came down <br />And bit us in the ass, <br />That’s why we are paying $3.35 for a gallon of gas. <br />There is no faith and trust in economy that floats, <br />If it floats well we are in the drivers seat, <br />If it suffers by war, instability, bad loans (mortgages) , <br />Mentions of military against Iran and propping up Pakistan. <br />The peculators are squeamish, <br />The Wall Street animals are bearish not bullish. <br /> <br />Gisele Bundchen knows what it is and knows what it is not. <br />She is making sure that she signs a contract, <br />The money doesn’t depreciate before she gets it. <br />But she doesn’t it all the same when you get it out from wash. <br />The artificial economy can be what ever you make of it, <br />She ought to make sure that she paid as in days of old, <br />By not dollars, euros, pounds etc., but by silver and gold. <br /> <br />(11-6-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-i-don-t-give-a-damn-about-green-back-dollar/
