Tissue Box

so money is the tissue
we console all our parts with

something so tear-able
this thing we fall into
 so delicious
so purposeful
so useful

 it unites us

the things we fall down for
as they last until they don't
and then the ground

it divides us,

every time

we cry for this

[R.J Calzonetti (Siniste..]

This is pretty melancholy, but I love the idea that something as dirty as money would be a tissue. It's necessary to live, in most cases, but in the end, it isn't a good thing, and it's a concept that loses value when realize it's the cause of divide. But still, something so essential can be worthless under the right circumstances. Money can buy happiness to an extent. But it can also destroy it. Or, it can be just as worthless as any crumpled piece of paper.

Money makes us do things we wouldn't ordinarily do. This is not necessarily a bad thing. But when it becomes our base unquestionably we risk ruin because, well... this is all a really just a joke someone assessed too much value to.

If I placed you naked in the middle of nowhere, under the sun, far from water, in between angry animals.... would you be able to survive?
