- - - - -

Is based upon gold:
It's not. What we hold
Is deposit, created by debt.,- - - - -

Additional money about
Would increase our well-being, no doubt,
Did not price levels rise
With the money supplies
And cancel the benefit out.- - - - -

Because of deflation
We find consolation
In knowing that coffins cost less.- - - - -
Volume 4.

Ensures that the price can't be paid.> - - - - -

What we cannot enjoy
By the time-honoured method of War.

When freedom from toil means no pay?- - - - -
Volume 9.

The right to enjoyment
Of things that await our demand?- - - - -
