I've been reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand lately and went to poetry club today thinking about Dagney Taggert, one of the main characters in the book. I greatly admire Dagney Taggert and while I don't agree with everything she stands for, I hope one day to at least resemble something of her character. So in Stinky Bagels today I wrote a tribute to Dagney Taggert.
Dagney Taggert
She looks out
with the eyes
of her mind.
She is repulsed
mooching,
mooching,
all are
mooching,
competition,
capitalism,
communism,
will not
one man
take
ownership
for the sake
of ownership?
She cries
with the
the eyes
of her mind.
Capital gain,
for the sole purpose
of gain.
For the sake
of what
is mine.
What is so wrong
with that?
She cries
with the eyes
of her mind.
She looks
with the
eyes of
her mind.
She is
repulsed.
Mooching,
Mooching,
All are
mooching.
She shouts
to a world
of moochers
with the
eyes of
her mind,
I AM NOT ONE OF YOU!
