Analysis of God On Money

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



I have to confess,
Times already hard,
You can't help homeless
With a credit card.

Bank's name can be found,
But In God We Trust,
Will not be around;
Anymore coins rust.

No more coin or bill,
In God We Trust gone.
Chip on that card will,
Show people move on.

It won't be around,
Those bills anymore,
And coins can't be found
In any ole store.
