[Marxism] Fwd: Need a poem
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Dear Louis, I am looking for a poem that goes something like this: Why is the house so cold? asks the daughter Because we can't afford coal says the mother Why can't we afford coal? Because your father lost his job in the mine Why did he lose his job? Because the mine closed Why did the mine close? Because there is too much coal It's a perfect description of the absurdity of capitalism, how plenty leads to want. No other economic system does this. Search as I might on Google I cannot find the poem. I do not wish to submit this to Marxmail under my own name. However, if you do, maybe someone will recognize it. --- Does anybody know this poem? _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
