BRICKLAYER
Do you worship the new holy trinity?
Of money, commerce and economy?
Do you measure one's status
Using just these three?
Or do you find one's worth in externalities?
And intrinsic values that are harder to see...
For someone like me don't
do much for your GDP
Is there anyone left who still agrees with me?
Number one should be love
and number two humanity
Number three could be compassion
Or replaced by four or five
Empathy and equality
Add them all up and you get solidarity
Now that's the math that
makes the most sense to me
I guess that's why I like philosophy
No, I've never been fond
Of stocks and bonds
I'm not a fan of
bottom lines or CEO's
I love the laying of bricks
Over newly paved roads
That lead off the beaten path
Showing people to a new way to go
