We should be moving toward local currencies not global or European currencies.

Not exclusively, but the bulk of our local economy should be covered by local currencies, which is more efficient than having global currencies which lose connection with reality in the markets, shops and communities of the people.

We must stress that the euro has been beneficial to the European Union because, otherwise, in this context of international turmoil, every country would have to devalue their currencies.

(Money poems) A dire need
No doubt I am
thirsty for power but
Without the ruthless dire
Need for money I am
bound to be tied to
Pretending that I love
you even though it is
Plain to the world to see
That I have nothing but
Contempt for you
I need money all the time
I deal with the mighty dollar
and the unstable ruble and
The the true frank franc
I sing the limerick
to the tune of the lira
And I say yes to the yen
and I mark your love with
With the Swiss franc I love
the hard currencies of the world
Just don't come to me with those
rands and meticals and nairas
I don't like the sight of
the currencies of your
Third world financial institutions
You will increase the level of
the poor who converge on me I am done
tired retired of using their daughters
and abusing their desperate women

A Flowing Done 'With' The Winds
A flowing done 'with' the winds of change
Is easier to adjust to
Than attempting to create the winds
To flow when one schedules changes to be done
Many will discover those currencies circulating seen
To be weak

War Business
Greed is into war business,
Arms sales are soaring high.
Profit billions in excess-
So what if people die?
Selling arms and bullets
For dollars and currencies
Let nations war -no regrets
The money brings prosperity!
Callous fools who make decisions
Creating war games that cost lives
Conspirators of world destruction
In death of men, their business thrives.

Worldwide News
Default in Greece,
In Iceland – peace,
Protests in England,
Evacuation plans in Scotland,
Brace’s bakery success in Wales,
In The Sun read the details.
Italy is under water,
In Twee Ribiere it’s getting hotter.
Riot is in the USA on Wall Street,
Moscow is in the sleet.
Soon or right on time for Christmas shopping?
Asked King of Prussia,
Collapse of currencies in Russia.
May be snow or may be rain in Ukraine.
In Odessa the sunny weather will remain.

Come Back, Brother
I have brothers
Yet I know them not
They live far away
In the hearts of Americas
Down the lanes of London
In the far east sunshine
Seeking for the golden fleece
I have many brothers
Yet they are invisible
I am not acquainted with them
Yet they wire currencies to me
Vide the Western Union
I cannot touch them
Because they are far removed
I longed to see my brothers
I longed to touch them all
Let me embrace them once
Let me see them face to face
Come back home brothers
Come home to roost
Come home to rest
Come and take your deserted thrones

If there's a country without a boasting Government?
Lovely,
As we all are friends!
And no politicians and henchmen?
Elephants, Lions, Tigers and Snakes
Chimpanzees, Insects and Human beings etc.,
All live in the safe jungle as one family?
And vegetarians all eat only grass!
No restrictions, Embargoes, currencies and taboos
Religion is strictly prohibited
So no more cruel Wars?
No barriers, barbed-wire fences and law enforcement?
No unnecessary taxes and prostitution
As all are in nude?
In this strange country
People never dies?
for shakespeares waste bin in gratitude!

Take A Hike
One terror outfit loses rest and peace
when another group blasts the bomb
and kills more than a hundred people.
Those kidnap kids for a few lakhs
chunter on those who hijack flights.
The pick-pockets feel envy at the burglars.
Knife-wielders for currencies of low value
get aggravated at the gun-toting smuglers.
Those who hunt snakes for their skin
are aggrieved at those who hunt deers.
Those whose palms greased by a few dollars
grouse about the ministers swindling billions.
All of you take a hike from your wonted trade
and keep this earth a nourishing mother to all.

Stand at ease!
When the storm of doubts, ill will and fate,
Blow harder than ever for me to get uproot,
Let me stay still or be flexible to the tunes at least,
Not to lose my griping integrity from the soil not to exit,
As the optimist, who see the flowers more than the thorns,
Metaphorical angel looks for the pure hearts more than the sinful,
I seek The available opportunities more than the inadequacies,
The unseen coins spread on the soil more than the printed currencies,
The love that tries to overflow from the deeds more than the words,
The helping hands that extend to wipe the tears more than the stones,
Let us not have the illusion with the delusion that storm will hurt,
It is just testing our will, how long and strong we stand at ease.

On No Work of Words
On no work of words now for three lean months in the
bloody
Belly of the rich year and the big purse of my body
I bitterly take to task my poverty and craft:
To take to give is all, return what is hungrily given
Puffing the pounds of manna up through the dew to heaven,
The lovely gift of the gab bangs back on a blind shaft.
To lift to leave from treasures of man is pleasing death
That will rake at last all currencies of the marked breath
And count the taken, forsaken mysteries in a bad dark.
To surrender now is to pay the expensive ogre twice.
Ancient woods of my blood, dash down to the nut of the seas
If I take to burn or return this world which is each man's
work.

Politically Incorrect Poem 3
The latest European edict from Brussels
commands that horses
must have a passport, with photo...
(our local brewery
still used them for local deliveries -
accountants proved them cheaper;
and of course, great publicity)
How many horses
can you get in one
photo-booth?
And they'll need quite a few more
shit-hot
passport inspectors
so watch that arab stallion
strolling so casually
onto the cross-Channel ferry -
might he....?

In the globalized world that is ours, maybe we are moving towards a global village, but that global village brings in a lot of different people, a lot of different ideas, lots of different backgrounds, lots of different aspirations.

Global
I am global
My aims may have a high value
But I’m no noble
I am global
I bring the world together
Like pieces of a puzzle
And support all freedoms
But will gladly put a muzzle
To the peace that dares speak out of turn
You think the planet’s warm?
Wait ‘til you get burned
I am global
I move entire nations
By moving just a few
To see things they otherwise wouldn’t
If it weren’t for my view
And to the blind, willing, and able
I say, war is always an option, sitting
On a very convincing table
I am global
I care for the environment
And hug a tree a day
Right before I chop it down
To construct toll booths, oh, and a freeway
Because paving the way ahead
Means making the world greener
For tomorrow, but today, mainly for my beamer
I am global
I’m concerned about life
Even though I can’t die
My hard work makes your living better
I’m pretty sure that I can’t lie
Some falsely think I’m full of scorn
For rules, property, and people
But I can’t help but smile when a new baby is born
I am global
I’m everywhere and nowhere
I’m in your face and unseen
I’m everyone and no one
I’m germ-free and unclean
I’m everything and nothing
I’m in the lead and on your side
Keep your seat back, close your eyes
And let me take you for a ride

Unification Of Currencies!
During independence one pound equaled one rupee,
After sixty five years it equals eighty rupees,
Pound and dollars are getting stronger,
Poor men's currencies getting weaker,
What a manipulation in the money market! !
To suck the anemic blood of the emerging target,
When talk of globalization, let us globalize,
Not only the commodities manufactured,
Intellectual properties that created,
Heavy machinery with highly CHIPped,
Command the higher and uniform values,
throughout the world, To the convenience of
richly indebted countries to get the profit,
Let us make the uniform curries to chase away the poverty.
Let us be frank and bold to face the reality,
let us not pretend to keep only our welfare as priority,
Let us think of the welfare of the humanity.

Shes So European
She walked in like a lady, with a glass of pink champagne
I wouldnt look if you paid me, cause to me shes still the same
Well you oughtta see her, wearin her heart on her sleeves
Youd never believe her, shes got a well-planned look in her eyes
Shes so european, shes one of a kind, one of a kind
Shes so european, shes one of a kind, all in her mind
And shes so european, I found out today
She still speaks with an accent from a week in san tropez
She makes love on her brass bed cause her parents are still away
Well you oughtta see her, countin the stars in her eyes
Youd never believe her, shes got a well-planned coverless smile
Shes so european, shes one of a kind, all in her mind
Shes so european, shes one of a kind, all in her mind
And shes so european, she told me today
I wanna hold her tight all through the night, I must be dreamin
I wanna take my time, shes so refined, is that her screamin
Ive seen the looks in your eyes, youve seen through her disguise, yeah
Shes so european, shes so european, one of a kind, all in her mind....
