Wish

boot

If all the prices..of everything 
Remained the same..no change 
Then everything..and every life 
Would have no...worried ways 

Why is it not?

The answer be...the reason be..
For greed..however small 
If all the world just stayed the same 
No quest for extra pennies 

Greed

A decent wage..sufficient 
All...would live in peace 
If all would stay at one set price...
For everything ..

How nice 

Surely...it could be this way 
It should have..from the start 
This wouldn't stifle innovation 
Cream...still rises to the top 

This wouldn't stop

Those with plans...however grand 
Empires...could still build 
They ..employed by dreamers 
Could be comfy..in their ways 

No inflation..prices stay

The same 

Why..you ask..can this not be?
A sadly..simple truth 
One man wants a penny more 
The next one...wants another 

Forever...

Greed ...defines the world of we
It really never had to be 
A penny...from the days of yore 
Should buy the same 

This day 

No more dicks.. inflating 
No more.. blown up life 
No more strikes for needed coppers
No more homeless...midnight robbers 

Equal..all

As should it be..

But then again...that's just me...

    Greed the fuel of capitalism. Humanity's flaw spawns ambition and civilization. A lovely write that gives one a good deal of thought and is mind provoking. Well done. A fave
