Cans As Currency
Updated: Aug 20, 2022
It’s hard for me to understand the fact
That money here in America is worth so much more
Compared to other currencies
In other parts of the world
And the fact
That I can take some money that I make here
To another country
And I’d be loaded
I can’t wrap my head around it
They work the same hours
And work similar jobs
But their money
Is worth so much less
It’s almost like
Their time is worth less…
It makes me look
At the homeless
And their currencies of cans
That 5-10 cents
From that can
Is worth a good amount
In another part of the world
The homeless currency of cans
Even the homeless in America
Have more money
Then the average citizen in other parts of the world
For they have their collection of cans
And all they have to
Is look for them
It’s like an Easter egg hunt
Every day
Mixed with street camping
And in this state
Camping on the street is legal
And frankly
Encouraged
It sounds kind of fun to
To have
Cans as your currency
And still have more wealth
then so many others in this world.
