Verzanelle Nr.01 — Cashless

“For your security and convenience      
the cashless society will be introduced      
cementing continued subservience      
      
and now we’ve got you seduced      
to believe in its expedience -      
the cashless society will be introduced.      
       
We, your rulers, have superior sapience      
trust us - terrorism will be reduced -      
believe in our expedience.      
       
Cash is so passé, uneducated, abstruse      
lacking in resilience      
trust us - errorism will be reduced.      
       
Please understand our prurience …      
think of the useful data produced      
in effortless resilience.      
       
Those who claim freedoms will be vamoosed … Pah!      
it’s for your security and convenience …      
just think of the useful data produced      
to ease your continued subservience”.

Author's Note
This is a 'Verzanelle' poem, invented by myself as a special tighter form (only two rhyme-endings) of the Terzanelle, which itself is a combination of the Villanelle with the 'Terza Rima' form.
