September's satire, for Atlas Shrugged Day: "This Day"
Enjoy, or not.

--------------------

This Day
“Teach the method that's true, Hugh...”

Meet me this day each year, my friend,
'neath pines remote and mountains grand,
in valley bright to cast your lot
and shrug off ev'ry unjust hand,
where value yours for value mine
is glad, unanimous demand.

Yes, meet me there and bring your Skill,
your Wares, your Love, your Self, your Mind.
Bring forth your Pearls and trade with me,
(or not), and I shall do in kind.
Post bold their price. Proclaim their worth.
Those who would sneer are left behind.

Meet me this day at last, my friend,
'neath dappled sun and bowered gates,
'neath skies of Reason - dawn and stars,
far from the claims of failed states.
Yes, meet me there and bring your Pearls...
Atlantis - your true home awaits!

    I will be there if my body will let me,
    In a world of reason, let the moochers forget me.
    Where I can say no to anyone's plea,
    And still have your love showered on me.
    Where I might live and truly be free,
    Free of stupid rules and and across the sea.

    Ask me to you meet you this day under the sky when September does not still feel like August in Alabama.
    Just kidding with the really real weather report.
    I really for real liked that poem also.

    And if you think of it bring a couple of good cigars.
    Another good one Eud.
