When did currency become stress? When did it begin to enslave our time, hearts, and minds? Was it the industrial revolution? Has techonology just given us all more time to stress about money? — Big shoutout to the poet G. P. Montgometry. — Peso. Dollar. Euro. Pound. Yen. — A weight that can liberate.
Original Poem —
stress
eats away at my chest
a weight
that makes my lungs deflate
a worry
the feeling of always being in a hurry
stress,
a weight in my chest.

Simply stated and heavy on the chest. You’re right to question our relationship with currency. There is a balance in there somewhere.
Stress is something we all carry around like a stone!
