Love Poem: Economy of the Gift

Written by: Justin Debrosse

Economy of the Gift

The fabric of transactions
We know today
Creates tremendous volume
As capital flows everywhere
You cannot argue
Wealth and efficiency

There is a gap
Across the networks
The real meaning is ascribed
The reason for being alive

Coded by indigenous economies
The marvel of giving gifts
And no possession of property

Bedrock socieities
Retain their transparency
Built of reciprocity 

In the land
Of money and honey
What is overlooked
The bonding
Of Love and Economy
