Poem

At The Millennium
WHENEVER men and women learn
To be themselves from day to day,
To spend no more than what they earn,
Not caring what their neighbors say;
When men can see another wear
A finer raiment than they own
And neither give a sigh nor care;
When they can live their lives alone,
And when they cease to rush in debt
To keep a little swifter pace,
There will be less of vain regret
And earth will be a happier place.
