Beautiful poem! I really love this line because I think this is where we often go wrong in this day and age: "We can't have freedom without the suffering of another." Never has a more false and damaging idea entered into human discourse. We don't have to make others suffer in order for us to prosper and have freedom! You say it just perfectly in the last stanza:

So please,

presidents, plutocrats, and politicians

CEOs, economists, and statisticians

on this day, and all the others,

let us not

pontificate

obliterate

proliferate

but instead

cooperate

Let us not drown our dreams in endless war,

but find a better freedom to be thankful for.

(Just beautiful. Peace and freedom to you and everyone!)
