Nott a Sage

Not a sage He is old now, and eyes are watery he looks absent and hiss ready smile has disappeared- people ask him questions he cannot answer because he is unwilling to say what they want to hear. Yes, he is a communist but also critical of its policy it can so quickly end up with an elite- sham labour unions and loss of free expressions Democratic- communism is not possible as people we have not evolved enough to understand it's the concept to explain will take too long. He murmurs something, feigns hard of hearing and let people talk to each other daily life were everyone has an opinion, often ill-informed from a sentence in a respected paper like the Guardian that is political in a middle-class way. He knows lies rules the world and that is the way of the world.
