Why Should I Care About Cryptocurrency?
by krstaten
As if anything is real anymore
anyway.
As if the things
we have been
exchanging
were ever tangible
anyway.
Mining?
My dear, we are
all of us
being mined
every day.
Look at me
and tell me you don’t feel
like a hollowed cavern.
Tell me
you don’t feel like everything
valuable
inside you
is being taken
and sold.

The ending of that second stanza hits wonderfully. Great take on the prompt.
