What are we after with the new life, economically?
We are after a society Where you can easily maintain Every necessity of life On a small income: Food, clothing, Shelter, tools, And somebody to love. This way of life will mean That whether you run the factory Or work on the factory floor, it is the same. It will vanquish the fear of loss And make the top and the bottom bold To do the right thing, no matter the cost. And doing the right thing Will make the world better. And what means do we employ To bring about such a change? Not force, Not politics, Not sweeping campaigns, But quiet and faithful perseverance in the simple way And belief in the hand of the unseen, So that every convert to this way of life Is purchased by the example of another. And though it may seem foolish or naive, This way of life will one day be the only way That people can imagine living. Write it down. It will be. And the people of the earth will grow rich So that, eventually, they will stop counting the cost, But will rejoice, not in what they might obtain, But in the thing they give away.
