The Model

The model for the human race is trade.

We humans interact; it's how we're made.

But mutual advantage and consent

Must always be both parties’ whole intent.

No whines, no threats, no subterfuge, no spin.

Fair work, fair wage, fair price. Long term, all win.

Now there’s a worthy prompt for poetry.

Don’t mutter, glare, or flip the bird at me.

Reality is where we have to live.

Full stop.
