Erroneous Pricing

Erroneous Pricing
P k Routray

For everything we fix a price and rate,
to estimate and establish the quantity to get.
The market and economy of society,
is maintained as per that without any so called complexity.
Dollar, pound, rupee,
Yen, Yuan and other currencies,
help to run the trade an commerce with present day efficiencies.
Rare materials like gold, diamond and pearls determine a country’s financial status,
They are considered more valuable than iron, aluminum and wood, a concept bogus.
They are at best used as symbol of richness and for glamor as ornaments,
Man will not die and will continue to exist even in spite of their absence.
For survival energy forms like light and heat are worth value of a million,
But they are freely available in abundance to both rich and the common,
Air and water are invaluable for human life,
For our comfortable existence God has given them plenty and rife.
Earth and space are essential commodity,
Everyone comes to earth and exist because these are available in plenty.
Compare the essentially of salt and sugar for our need,
Sugar is costlier than salt a fact to ponder indeed.
The more the utility the less is the
Cost,
Is it as per cost man is compelled to adjust?
“Priceless” has double meaning.
it may imply invaluable or valueless by present day system of pricing.
All essentials of life are available free in galore,
Why do people differentiate themselves as rich and poor?
As because they run after pride and greed,
Man’s desire rises further and farther forgetting the real need.
For their selfish end they pollute and spoil the free gifts of nature for bare necessity,
And compel their brethren both present and future peacefully not to exist.
Our costing system is erroneous and not very absolute,
It is meant to inculcate greed to hoard and to be merciless and brute.
Is it not the structure of valuing which is defective?
It is an appeal to change the pricing structure, following which man may comfortably survive.
