Bring Back Bartering

barter. … An example of barter is when the people within a community exchange goods and services so that money needn’t be used. An example of barter is bread provided in exchange for butter.

We wile away the hours

Sitting in our habitual preservations

Protecting ourselves from unseen viruses

Trying to keep our sanity in check

Decluttering unnecessary materialism

Giving away or throwing out attachments

Temporary modes of happiness

Everything we need to nurture is within

Mother Earth provides the nourishment

Remove the dependency of money

Bring back bartering

Utilizing skills to make, bake, create and grow

Sharing and exchanging with others

Organically, morally and ethically

Showing goodness, gratitude and kindness

Feed, clothe, shelter and teach others

Without price tags, score cards and commissions

God has always laid out his abundance

It is man that has conquered and divided it

Priced up freedom of resources

There should be no elitism

Communism, consumerism, capitalism

Time to change and work in harmony

Attaining equality and sustainability

Maintaining the balance and a loving decorum

Namaste 🙏🙏
