Communism

While some did rant and others rail.
The moral of this natural tale,
If a mid-wife’s arms are strong,
A healthy birth won’t take too long.
But if she doesn’t know her stuff
The passage can be very rough.

To each and all according to his needs
Whilst ability did fantastic deeds.

No longer tied to market forces,
We had the know-how and resources.
No longer prone to any monied trend
We got a much firmer grip of life,
And watched technology ascend.

Say Goodbye, O dark, prehuman past,
Yelling, kicking, screaming
All humankind was truly born at last.

Our population did explode
With such enormous power,
Time for birds to leave the nest
And seeds to spread and grow and flower.

We’d learnt to crawl, we’d learnt to walk,
And when all was done and said:
Farewell, Dark-Age superstitions
We’d all grown taller by a head.

Goethe, Einstein, Mozart
Inspired Bard of verse and prose
Greater gifts than yours, by far,
In more fertile soil now grow.
