To reflect on the way that wellbeing is measured.

Fictional poem.

The poem reflects on the measurement of wellbeing, contrasting the natural world with that created by humankind. It suggests a differential enjoyment of benefits within humankind, and incidentally asks how the fruits of the creative mind can be weighed against material accounts.

Encourages consideration of the worth of systems of accounting when individual lives can be so disparate in their sharing of social wealth.

A unique interpretation of the practice of accounting.
