There was once value
It was you
Your spirit
Your essence
Eternal without constraints
How we capture it?
Diminish the value
Place value elsewhere
Everywhere else but you.
What is it?
Money
Your value diverted
Now tied to money
Got none
You are of no value
We can vary your value
Inflation
You measured by money now
We have papers to prove it
Encapsulate you as dead
Sorry value no more

And we bought into these shenanigans.
