In the Dark

Socialism, a theory of Karl Marx
Has kept too many nations in the dark
   Russia, Cuba, China
   And now Venezuela
Where half the electric grid doesn't spark

Add... California... they are half on and half off now... third world... Great write. A little sad, but very true. God give you a lovely day. Ann

I forgot all about poor California, the first socialist state of the New Union of American Socialist States (aka U-ASS!)

Marx didn't realize that only poets attain Paradise on Earth. LOL. Thanks, Jenish. ~ gw

I heard that Komrade Bernie Sanders has just turned down a one-way ticket to Venezuela. I'd call that a health-care crisis! :)
