Month: December
Year: 2020
World without GDP
Imagine there’s no GDP
It’s hard but we must try
Not just goods and services
We need to ponder why
Imagine we count happiness, even for a year
Imagine there’s no poverty
Wealth not in hands of few
More schooling, health and housing
Gender equity too
Imagine all the people, living happily
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
There’s Stiglitz, Sen and Daly
Let’s run with what they’ve done
Imagine social equity
Oh! Can’t you take that call
No need for greed or hunger
A sisterhood of all
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only soul
I’m sure that more will join us
Till we realize our goal
(Inspired by John Lennon, nudged by Eddie Allison)
