…it isnt the
monstrosity of the dictator
that destroys hope
for the future
depression resides
in the absence of opposition
not just the cooptation of
daytoday resistance
but in the actual
lack of
an alternative solution
so go on –
abandon all hope
in those tired notions
of revolution
trample those strategies
underfeet
as you march to
those syncopated beats
break that stride
or that stride will break
on reefs made unsteady
by
feelgood reefers
that blow
smoke up
your ass
and into his gaping
mouth

and yet…
