Value
A nail or a
nuclear reactor.
Each is a
product of human labour,
Raw
materials transformed by neighbour
And
neighbour into something rather more
Useful than
ore and unharnessed energy.
Both are
products of all the work required
In their
making. Workers only being hired
For rather
less than whatever may be
The value
they create, the difference,
When the
total value is divided,
Is taken by
those who have provided
The means
whereby work works its immense
Power to
create. Though those means come through
Workers
previously creating their value.
D. A.
