Victory for Me Poem

A victory for me means fair trade, not just free

Agreements that treat all incomes equally

You won’t hear this shouted on the radio

But you shouldn’t doubt it could really grow

Forget GDP for a second and just think

What would it take for us not to sink

To a world where consumption is king

And we care not for the harm it will bring

That right there is to ditch the status quo

Starting from anew, keeping in the know

New gardens of hope will begin to grow

When we never let love and truth go

We can and do value the pursuit of happiness

But what if we adored being happy with less?

Dollars are just paper, coated with green

Excess money often serves as a smoke screen

Truth cannot be bought, it must be lived

So I seek to show it in the good that I give

I’m wealthy in the values I carry out

Rich in using faith to end times of doubt

Believing in the good that sustains the best

Veiwing life as I should, an ultimate test

We can skip the excess drama, live from the heart

Or immerse in a world, tearing each other apart

The choice is yours if you choose not to sell it

For falsified worth, where a scammer is a zealot
