A dollar changes hands often in a day
Some hands will swiftly pay to play
Others gently finger and carefully pay
Not knowing what might happen later in the day
All the while when that dollar is spent
None of us truly realize what it represents
An Approval of a New Order of the Ages
A foundation for a country to be built in stages
