This is great. It's also why I think "fuck you money" is BS. Just as he says in the poem - you'll create even if you're on welfare. I hear so many people say

I hear so many people saying once they get enough money they'll finally have the time for the things they really want to do. Just do it now, you only live once.
- InclinedPlane 13y agoPoverty is not a hurdle to creativity but it's foolish to say that it doesn't affect the realm of possibilities. You can't build a new rocketship if you are on welfare (Elon Musk). You can't architect buildings if you lack the money to acquire the necessary formal education and certifications. You can't build electronics if you lack the money to own a soldering iron. Yes, you can do other things, but maybe those other things won't be as fulfilling, as profound, or as meaningful. Consider that if Newton, Galileo, Michelangelo, or Da Vinci were born into poverty we might never have heard of them. Certainly many people use the excuse of not having the time or the money to follow their passions, but that doesn't mean it's never a factor.
