Sowell
by Michael Doyle

Constrained
Or unconstrained
The views of mankind
Are a spectrum
In which we find

Two paths
Of social theory
Knowledge of the decisions
That make up an economy
Factored in their controversy

The question 
Needed to be answered
Is what truly helps anyone?
What makes for improvement
Improves the world for everyone

It's not a question
Of either black or either white
It is the differences
Between what's wrong or right
That should be enough

What should matter for policy
Is does it work 
Not does it sound good
If it doesn't work for the economy
There is no color that matters but green

Socialism in its sounding good 
Is utopian ... and of no real use
Talking of past wrongs
In the middle of a globe of present wrongs
Is nothing but a plea for a return to reason
