Some are saying
do away with cash altogether
it’s dirty
with all the hands
it passes through
then eventually phase out
debit and credit cards

A chip is what we all need
to avoid future contamination
no more mistaken identity

Personal ID
financial status
criminal convictions if any
heath history
all there
at the pass of a scanner

Sewn under the skin
in the bottom of your wrist
or lower arm
after a while
you won’t even notice it
but when you walk up to a cash
reprogrammed
you’ll remember to wave it over
the electronic eye

No more lost money
stolen plastic
think of it as your friend
till death do us part

In the not too distant future
babies will be born
with any DNA defects corrected
along with circumcision
implant of the chip
a routine natal procedure

And when the next pandemic arrives
if infected
the chip will automatically sense
a change in your system
identify the invading bug
notify you
and if necessary
your local health authorities
police force

Nothing more to worry about
the state protecting us all
from cradle to grave
