[1870 - John D Rockefeller incorporates Standard Oil]

Freedom from Want

A thousand wants,
A hundred needs,
In the end,
Want nothing,
Need no one.
No woman, no man,
No thing.
Free, at last.

Alike for those who for TO-DAY prepare,
And those that after a TO-MORROW stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries,
"Fools! your Reward is neither Here nor There!"
