Wage Deduction
“The wages of sin…” was cited by Romans
Back when. But, presently, it is wages
That are the sin, for they are the gauges
Of exploitation. Until there are plans
For radical change, the true creators,
No matter what their work or workplace,
Their nationality or supposed race,
Will receive a salary that ignores
The full value of what they may produce.
It’s there a difference must always arise,
For in unpaid labour the profit lies,
As creation is for profit, not use.
The one alternative to this schism,
Is moneyless, unwaged socialism.
D. A.
