FREE MARKETS

/

"Free markets" is another myth
Upon which we build life;
But like our 'faiths' they can't be free
Because they cost us strife.

We fight because there's not enough
To fill the void within,
The purpose of the market race
We think we need to win.

What is the point? We have to ask,
Why strive to get ahead,
Since we all know that at the end
We're tied when we are dead?

The market that we could set up
Which would be truly free,
Is one at which we each share our
Unique capacity.

When we invest in these life shares
Returns are mutual;
And to us our life dividends
Are only paid in full.

Not one will lose; we all will gain.
For in our common thirst
To be what we can be that's when
Humanity is first.

ECONOMIC ABSURDITY

/

We're really utterly insane
To think that we must wait in vain
For the Economy to poo
So we will have a job to do.

If we were blessed with half a wit
We wouldn't shovel all this shit.
If only we ignored it's word
Our lives would not seem so absurd.

We can decide how we should live!
That to Economy we give
The right to choose what we can be
Is absolute absurdity!

CHRISTMAS WISH '08

/

My wish for gifts is now long dead.
It is for 'sight' I wish instead.
This year I wish we all could 'see'
Beyond our god Economy.
I wish that everyone would pause
To study this guy Santa Claus.
We'd 'see' Economy the same.
She differs only in her name.
From Santa we expect a gift
We hope will give our life a lift.
Economy we want to give
A job to us so we can live.
We stare at her immobilized
What we can do unrealized.
At such a cost there is no doubt
This 'santa' we should do without.
If we could 'see' we don't survive
To keep Economy alive,
We'd see each other as we should
And give the gift of common good.

These days our god Economy
Is everyone's concern.
She's sick so 'doctors' study her
To see what we can learn.

When she is sick she can't supply
The cash she needs to give,
Which we then spend and spend on her
Just so our god can live.

Thus 'doctors' try to figure out
How do they stimulate
The health of our Economy
So jobs she can create.

We fear that if the 'doctors' fail
To keep our god alive,
Our social structures will collapse
And we will not survive.

Two thirds of her lifeblood is what
The 'doctors' realize
We need give to Economy
To stave off her demise.

What does it say about us when
To something we create
We give the power that allows
Our living to dictate?

It says we are ridiculous
To be at such an end
Where god Economy tells us
Our purpose is to spend.
