Victory

The world society
Has won a victory over
All that made the previous
Millennia a veil of tears from
Disease famine major wars
Slavery and all the other
Things that make life
Hard except only
Income whose
Distribution
Can now
Be made more
Equitable by taxing
Wealth and aiding the
Poor though some fear
A reactionary attempt
To go back in time to
Fears of Racial and
Ethnic equality we
Who believe in a
Democratic
Republic
Have
Just won
Our victory.
