The Counterfeiter
I’ve been making & laundering money
for nearly eleven months now
and as they say so far so good
It took nearly just as long to set up shop
but the legwork & overtime efforts
appear to be finally paying off
Running your own business has its pros & cons
[as you may or may not know]
if anything it’s afforded me to travel abroad
where the greenback is wildly accepted
One thing keeping me up at night though
is the eventual transition to a cashless society
forcing me back into the bitcoin mines
june two thousand twenty

The struggle is real!
Indeed it is!
Very fitting poem for the times we live in. Very nice. Let’s hope the ‘transition’ is seamless and pleasant!
