What we think and what we know

 

 

There is no difference between socialism and capitalism…

both their middles are living pay-check to pay-check

 

Their poor trying to survive by any means…

Their rich doing fuck-all.

 

So to cheer the values of the one over the other –

that political morass, is counterproductive

 

Too late to ensnare grown-ups with morality…

no words to describe to children the inequality

 

all failures of socialism and capitalism –

and that they cemented their marriage in ‘democracy’…

 

Democracy is a fervent future dream, nowhere

close to being realized, anywhere in the world

 

Yet we believe we exist in a democratic society…
as if Surrealism has taken hold of thought.
