History Classes
History is a chronicle of change,
Incessant, of both advance and delay.
Rome wasn’t built, nor was it lost, in a day:
Became, then went, once kings could arrange
Affairs, until their castles also fell
When commerce and capital promoted
Themselves and the world became devoted
To their interest. Although it might feel
The way things are must always remain so,
The few usurping the wealth made by many,
With vital human needs needing money
To be satisfied. Yet all this can go
Should the majority say, ‘It’s ended!’
Capitalism can be transcended.
