Many times
wealth creation
with horses of war
creates problems,
remember?
Wealth creation
is creation of quality
a creation of value
You can be participating
in The Economy by making a dime
and might end up more useful
if it doesn't sit
in the coffers of the rich
but buys food and drink
Horses of War
can make bills pay
but ravage lands
during destruction
just like cannibalism
is good nutrition
so horses of war
eat into our commons
grazing a bit too close
and disrespectful in contention
creating problems
with armies
and civilian grazing rights
to hold the metaphor tight
But that's why we've governments?
Problem of the Commons
the main justification
that and Justice & Mercy
which again can be problems
common enough
Remember
our history of truths
that are self-evident
and those rights we hold
common to all men
plus those unenumerated
These are what built us strong,
not some rubbling thrall.
To trade freedom for security
will get us neither free nor secure.
Our Economy
creates quality
but ravages lands
in Problems of Commons:
Trees, Water, Peace, Air.
But that's why we've governments,
evidently.
