Best Adam Smith Poems

Better production—
an index of economic growth: 
Whatever be our model of production,
Whatever notion of the human it is built on,
On whether s/he is rational,
As for Aristotle, Adam Smith and Amartya Sen, 
Or irrational, as for Nietzsche and Richard Thaler, 
Sustainability must be the key word.

Better...

I said to my prodigal son
who stole from me,
it is not competitive economic strategies
that dominantly empower life;

Competitive ecologies and economies 
are dominantly decomposing monocultures,
just the opposite of regenerative synergetic praxis
and regenerative intent toward polycultures.

Monopolistic internal consumer-culture
develops into decomposing organic systems
dissonant cognitive 
and emotive 
and neural...

count on it...

that numbers made the world
we came to believe
after all ten digits 
long ago ran out
and we stuck our toes into the fray
to count and be counted anyway

and they too ran out
a foot at a time
and numbers became stuck to 
our rulers feet or...

I have seen men carved from stone
rising above the Black Hills,
I’ve seen ancient trees born back when
Ceaser still worked his will,
felt a thundering water pound down,
and from four Great Lakes drain,
I have known the prairie silence
that can mess up the brain,
I have seen a bright...

Come To Me Shadow, Your Breath I No Longer Fear

Come to me shadow, life-dancing has gone awry
Earth's rotation has slowed, pale has grown weeping sky
Even dawn and its glory dares to hesitate
For what more is life, than a heavy anchor of Fate?

So goes the passing...

polydactyl fractals
and digital manipulation
like "fat fingers"
pushing "astroturf" clods
and "usefull idiots" onto the street
into the traffic
goose stepping in lockstep
against what they're for
    unaware
their prophets decrying profits
(historically elite)
the politburo oligarchy
with power
from the barrel of a gun
and needing Adam Smith
  to eat
but oh well
what's...

...A recipe for dystopia,
like old Harrison Bergeron,
equality taken too far
is a symphony of the wrong.
The communists proved this quite well,
all their power could not make it work,
mankind is not made to be equal,
attempting it drives things berserk.
It is a far better idea
to try to make...

The howling winds of March

Furious gusts of air
mightily blow bestirring anchored poet
sitting comfortably numb
securely strapped in his hard to maneuver
easy bath chair
while all around him debris
strewn helter skelter everywhere
heavy objects unmoored
pirouetting topsy turvy

defying laws of physics
cue Adam Smith
courtesy his invisible hand
eulogizing, kickstarting, and regulating
unseen cogs...

When he returned home
It was four years past
There were bands playing
And the families were glad
For the returned Diggers
Were also sons, brothers and lovers
And the years were long
At times they were filled with tears

It was 1919 and the Great War was over
But not everyone was there
In...
