Look For Solutions
I listened to the story
of a car factory
that was going
to close down
Again I thought
three hundred workers
that are going to be
out of work
If only
they would work together
Two years before hand
they knew the end was coming
They knew they had
redundancy money
investing together
could they not, make
Another factory
they have the design skills
they have the engineers
they have the managers
They have the investment
all they need is another idea
another direction
another job
They said on face book
that in fifteen years
38% of the work force
will be replaced by robots
yet people still need jobs
increase the tax
perhaps people could get money
from the dole
yet then company's
would leave
for third world economies
where they paid less tax
leave the world to head
down this path
and you destroy
your consumer market
!8,000 children already die
everyday from hunger
and starvation
what future are you creating
surely the human race
has a brain
surely we can create
a better system
Turn people into investors
perhaps they can earn dividends
instead of wages
for the system to work
people need money
to buy their food
as jobs become
redundant
We need to change
the way people
get money
society needs to think
use your brains
we have a problem
how do we create
a solution
