Capitalism, Your Name is Misery
Inflation is officially falling
As unemployment rises in its place,
Each is misery, with a different face,
But both aspects are equally galling.
All pay increases will be quickly lost,
And are, at best, a temporary mask.
Yet, the most pertinent question to ask
Is surely, why should living have a cost?
After all, there’s wealth enough to go round,
Created by workers for such a small
Allowance as wages, instead of it all:
So, reasons for radical change abound.
Abolish money and inflation’s gone,
Once the battle for socialism’s won.
