Davis Jones was commissioned to compose a new poem for this project and responded with a lovely musing about accounting as a metaphor for life. We ran through it with Neo strumming guitar slowly as Davis read the words, and that was the basis for this composition.

lyrics

Most assets depreciate over time
Assets are things, nouns, physical units
Depreciation is an expense on a profit and loss
Depreciation is accumulated
To lower the value of an asset
Over its projected life expectancy
Things wear out without maintenance
Maintenance of an asset increases its life
Investments in Assets decrease cash or liabilities
Investments in Assets increase value and equity

Every accounting transaction
Includes a debit and a credit
Every accounting transaction
Requires a journal entry and a description
Every accounting transaction
Includes a paradox or two
Every accounting transaction
Increase or decreases net worth

Every evidence-based rebuttal negates existence
Everyone who learns accounting will never go insane
Insanity is the result of refusing to understand
That all things are true and false at the same time
Darwin supports superior/inferior duality knowledge
Einstein supports connection of possibilities

Use your head
Learn Math, English, Humanities, Science
Use your head
Completion of goals builds self-esteem
Use your head
Self-esteem brings confidence
Use your head
Confidence feels great yet does not boast
Confidence relies on using your head
Builds assets, accounts for liabilities, and builds net worth.
