Progress
The entrepreneur and the go-getter
Engineered the world as it is today.
The obsolete banished, progress holds sway
Still, but is frustrated by a fetter
From realising what could be achieved,
If no longer bound by need for profit.
All human needs could readily be met
Once society’s finally relieved
Of the burden of money. People can
Decide en masse how their interests elide,
Once they choose to create a worldwide
Commonwealth. What capitalism began
Will be realised when social schism
Is resolved through progress to socialism.
