    Years ago in another life when I fancied I was a poet, part of one of my poems was,
    "If filthy capitalism does not make it go round,
    a gold mine is just a hole in the ground."

    A later Poem had a couple of lines,
    "was the light we saw in the tunnel today,
    the gravy train going the opposite way."

    The death of capitalism is going to be another "ism" dont know which.
    What I do know is that the death of 'Democracy is going to be 'Kleptocracy'

    Is capitalism responsible for human greed?

    One remains a poet for life, so shame on you for the delusion that you can run from your own shadow And you are a commentary poet, and that is rare, rare indeed.

    I had come to the same conclussion last night -- this thread is a social commentary, and I agree with Dave.

    Here is the challenge : It will get us nowhere to sit and pontificate, and I always think with a wry smile that our ancestors where only allowed on board the creaking ships if they could bitch very well, for that is one thing our SA's are good at. Crit and complain, but the last time I looked the bad guys were winning, so here goes.....

    Whatever you propose as an alternative, you have to live.

    I liked your poems and your take on -ism.
