Shackles No More...

When no man lives
for any other
nor binds another life
to their own
When value is earned
through productive achievement
  Not given
  Nor taken
and is traded freely with others
on the sole basis
of value for value
When tears are not treated
as if some entitled tender
and are dried by the noble fires
that burn in the eyes that hold them
When the poor and the foolish
are wise enough not to berate
or beg with vicious resentment
for the earnings of the prosperous
When no envy or sloth
are accepted as just cause
to venerate covetous thefts
When men and women are worth
exactly what they earn through industrious labor
When no chains tie them down
or bind others to them
When they are no longer shackled
and there are shackles no more

There in that dreamland of true freedom
There in that paradise of truest virtues
There in that place of individuated unity
There will be the land of great beings
There will be the age of great prosperity
There will be the illuminating euphoria
There will be shackles no more
