Money Is A Psychological Construct Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

What is money?
is money a material reality?
no...
it's a psychological construct
it works converting matter into mind
it is the universal system of mutual trust
and most efficient system too
created by humans ever devised
It bridges all the cultural gap
and never discriminate
it does not see religion, gender, race, age
or sexual orientation
philosophers, thinkers, prophets say
money is the root of all evil
it's not wrong
but at the same time
money is the apogee of human tolerance
it is more open minded
than language, state laws, cultural codes,
religious beliefs and social habits
thanks to money
even people don't know each other
don't trust each other
can yet co-operate effectively.
