Blood Money
A chrome money sack, gold drawstring, the dollar sign in red.
The bag everyone prays to.
Look closer. The symbol is red.
Count what it cost. Count how it was made.
Blood money still spends. That is the horror of it.
The dollar sign is red because the money is always red somewhere in its history: what it took to extract, and from whom. The bag does not carry the weight of that. You do.
