The market is a merciless beast, Tame it and you'll get a dog - Friendly, useful, smart, Overbred imperfectly, The flawed result of art. Which do you choose? The perfect beast To maximize return? To set unbiased by the heart What people pay and earn? Or the dog, who would prefer To find some way to please, And with a trick or two, the pain Of life's worst hardships ease? Oh, yes, the market undisturbed Works most efficiently. But do you choose the wilderness And nature's cruelty? Or do you choose the park, where nature, Guided by the will, As tame as we, is modified To spare the weak and ill? Which is your reflection? The wild or the tame? Your answer is a mirror, Its heart and yours the same. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. Video Music: Concerto for Organ and Orchestra Op7 no1 mvt2.
