Quatrain of Capitalism


Capitalism - a economic system whereby
the means of production are owned
by private individuals


Serfdom , once dying,
now tapping on the door,
the worst of life
reaching with a
smile,

To associate without
the blessing of the state,
a model so enduring:
actively on
trial.

The past assuredly no
teacher, yesterday remains
dead; our learning
clouded by false
history,

From the tenebrous
to the lambent, and
back again: 'tis cycled
alliance of a social
mystery.
