Currency

A meditation on what we truly value

Currency — a poem by Pemba Umoja

When you fear money

Enough is never enough

There is always more

Money

More fear

Money

More fear

Then there is freedom, time, love.

What of these?

Currencies of idealists, dreamers, and poets?

When you take your last breath, which do you think you'll wish for more?

A poem by Pemba Umoja
