Analysis of open secret

Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)



it’s never about the human-beings
never about us and them
never about you and me
it’s always about money
money is all that matters
money is all to see

we can always have enough of each other
but we can never have enough money
destiny of mankind
determination of money
