What If…
The world were rebooted
A new society, a new norm,
new paradigm in shape and form

Old affluent were the new ordinary,
old ordinary were the new well-heeled
Wealth equation flipped to contrary,
socio-economic status stood reversed

What if…
Old money bought you coach ticket,
new money, a first-class permit
Planes would be front-loaded,
more of plush luxury seats,
less of grumpy economy folks
Boarding would be a new norm,
new rich would relish the new platform

What if…
Old money bought you budget automobiles,
new money bought you exotic mean machines.
Ferraris in a beeline at traffic light,
heads would turn to a Kia in sight.
Old rich would shop at a shrunken Walmart,
new rich would bury a Saks shopping cart.
A new world of different inequality,
more of new Affluent and,
less of the new Ordinary

What if…
Old affluent were the new ordinary,
old ordinary were the new opulent
Paper money were to be history,
Wealth were measured in joy and being content
