About money – Interest - interest on interest
and Greed
Lament of a banker who believes in interest
:-(
« Oh my dear, dear interest
and interest on interest
you were a good profit for me
now you want to go
can’t relax now
and I must suffer
got to do something somehow.
Too bad - I had
a very good time with you »
:-(
Money rules the world
Greed ruins the world
In the large world of money
it’s all about large payments and paybacks -
in particular interest.
The politicians prostrate in front of the power of capital.
They act like the fire brigade -
they take action only when there is a fire.
But one thing’s already burnt -
unfortunately – MONEY - in the bad banks
The capital without restraint, politics react with impuissance.
Gains are privatised – and hidden from the revenue office.
Losses are socialised – and made public, of course.
Fortunately, there are also money printing presses.
- what a wonderful way to increase the amount of money -
have you already heard : Turb exchange or high-frequency trading
in one second
1 million transactions are executed.
Now it is perfect:
Machines are replacing people
during the unbridles increase in money
of millions of dollars or Euros
- errors - flash crash – including abuse -
the machine knows neither pity nor compassion.
Some believe in a God
who created the world from nothing

a very good time with you »

Some believe in a God
who created the world from nothing
others prefer to believe
in the miracle of the multiplication of money
by doing nothing.
Let’s wait and see – whether people can act like God.
The "Ancient Greeks" 2000 years ago were guilty of
hybris – gluttony -
the gravest crime of mankind
then the Gods became involved.
Some people infatuated with money
gamble at the others’ expense
in the miracle of the multiplication of money
by doing nothing.

gamble at the others’ expense
- the stupid ones – the ones that have to work -
- many for an hourly wage of 5 Euros -
and – like a travesty -
also have to pay for the large sums of money lost by
these gamblers.
:-) I’ve given up – understanding this :-(
Will we still experience it -
The abolition of interest or, at least the abuse?
the ECB loans money for 0.75% -
an overdraft credit costs 9% - 16%
depending on the financial institution – these interests are set in stone -
there is no discussion.
And don’t you dare miss a payment.
Germany’s federal debt was 2.1 trillion Euros -
in January 2012 – that is a number with 12 zeros at the end -
the state has to go into debt – in order to pay the interests -
- USA’s federal debts rose to 16 dollars -
sometimes it’s 16 trillion – other times it’s 20 trillion -
but that’s not really important anymore -
1 trillion – so what?
What politician or citizen believes
that this debt can ever be paid back -
On the contrary – we keep on making debts – zealously -
Where the money comes from
to pay back the debts and the interest -
that is of no interest to the banks at all,
unless – the government is unable to pay -
then they cry loudly for help-
well – we’ve already experienced this
in the last years and months -
Money rules the world – greed ruins the world
The one-sided thinking in monetary values is corrupt
What monetary value does a person have -
a small baby -
an adolescent -
an adult -
a senior -
A person is only suddenly too expensive when working
Here is discarded as a worthless burden.
We truly are a society that throws things away -
we don’t even stop when it comes to people.

Islam also forbids interest -
until the 18th century, Christianity did as well -
