After the Revolution

What shall we keep after the revolution? State sanctioned lies. lies about yesterday and tomorrow. Oxycontin and fentanyl factories must be kept on a war footing. We will follow the science, accepting at last that Alzheimer’s is natural, safe and should never be treated, unless there are signs of recovery. Happiness points will be allotted, according to those exhibiting a myopic tendency to laugh at nothing at all. We will need more suitcases, production must be stepped up, for the transportation of gold teeth, cigarettes and lighters, and other minor treasures to barter and swap with for food. Actual breadlines will be considered, a patriotic and legitimate form of outdoor exercise. We will need bicycles, one for every five families should do. Large sections of our victorious homeland, together with its surplus populous will be recycled into a much needed, glue and mulch, in order to hold together our glorious future.
