Surplus Values

The Labour Theory of Value?

Sure, you say

But a little accumulation, say you

Helps us all profit from day to day

But I say that if your only Values are Surplus

And profit your only principle

Then to labour what is the purpose

And perhaps to become a professional thief is more practical

If we do not value each other

Then why not kill and rob ones brother

One must dig deep to find ethics, to find why we must care

But believe me, those reasons are definitely there
