Capitalism opened the door
To a world of tick tock wonders.
It's allowed us to live far longer:
By living, we buy more things.
It’s permitted us the freedom
To pursue
Both virtuous and venal dreams.
But if you give it credit for the outcomes
You are most certainly a fool -
That’s like giving a car the credit
For burning up its fuel.
You sealed this up very nice! Very good point, sounds like a double-edged sword. Thank you so much, Eddie, for sharing this expressive poem and your views on capitalism!
