Ghostmoney-
It’ll hauntya-
But what is ghostmoney, you ask-
Ghostmoney is the dream
of the value
of the money you spent
it all long ago.
Ghostmoney is foreign currency
that we all use-
Ghostmoney is currently collected
by the customs and exorcise-
This chilling private-value-system
haunts vaults
vaunts and flaunts fiscal
risks, faults, fails, falls
into a Great Depression.
Haunting stark for the gaunt poor-
Ghostmoney dreams flapped
from the wings
of a mammoth Mammon mastodon.
Great poem, you do speak the truth about money....Kahlia
report
Nice poem. Today's money is nothing but paper, ink and numbers.

Thanks Kahlia and Louis. Ironically, if you read this poem on a machine without adblocker on it, some of the words of the poem are themselves turned into commercials. I noticed this happening on the poemhunter site as well and wrote a poem about it, which I'll upload.

I like the poem very much. I've also addressed the problem of money in a poem.
