Time to Change
Capitalism was once the young blood,
Overturning thrones, dispossessing lords.
It manufactured this world that accords
With its own ways and means, where common good
Is held to be the untrammelled pursuit
Of private wealth, even if that should be
At the expense of public poverty,
With a reserved freedom to profit and pollute.
But now this history lesson’s been learned,
That which loosed bonds becomes a binding force,
While the class presently bound is now the source
Whereby a new, better way is discerned.
Progress must transcend anachronism,
It is time for change, for socialism.
