Small
It mat be small and of insignificance to some but without it we are done.
It rules our lives from birth to the grave, dictates so many aspects of our daily life.
Where we live and how we live, where we work and at what tasks.
Where our children go to school whether we have private medical cover or rely on the state run one.
Where we go on holiday, when and for how long.
Whether we go to the restaurant on Saturday night or the local chippy.
It has brought government down and raised others up, brought down countries and overtaken others.
Murder has been committed for it. crime of all manner, lives won or lost over it.
We cannot live without it, but we cannot eat it.
Whilst not being part of the church it is to many a religion, a way of life.
Without it you can die, but with kit no guarentee of a perfect life.
It has been with man in some form since his very existance yet none can say when it first appeared.
What the is this insignificant item, small n size but for many large in stature.
It is in simple fact the almighty Dollar, without which the world would come to a standstill.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
