Something is wrong with the
world fundamentally,
But nobody can put their
finger on what it is exactly.

The world’s borrowers owe
the world’s lenders much more money
Than the whole world makes and owns -
It’s almost funny.

Where did all that money come
from and where did it go to?
Creditors and debtors are one
and the same entities too.

What is money? What is currency?
Before them how did the world feel?
The value of distrust is greedy -
It’s all just numbers. It’s not real.
