Theoretical Isms
Ism's
In theory are all well and good
Until when it comes to
Being asked
To provide a modicum of
proof or shinning example
to follow
Then an ism independently
viewed and broken down
Becomes and appears in
a different light
Like a smokes filled room
filled with alder men sitting
around a high table
Expleting such views as
brother's and sister's
Women shall be bare foot
and pregnant never entitled
to vote
And equally to all power to
the people and worker's
To each an individual share
of everything they themselves
have created
Of what is left only after obviously
we have divided and taken our
cut 1st
Then yes your welcone to
split whatever's scraps
are left between the rest
of all of you
And if you wish to speak
to me refere to me as Sir
when you address me
Respect my service to the
cause and know your place
and station
Don't you know who i am
I am the 1 who resides in
the big house on the hill
And you are merely nothing
more than a peasant to
be regarded as a servant
So in summation nothing
in reality for you or your ilk
has changed
Apart from the fact you now
serve kneel and bow not
before a King
But yet another master
Proclaiming to be no better
in fact than any 1 of you
But still expected and wanted
all the same entitlements ,
benifts his predecessor possessed
He so wished to oust to
pacify his conscious conviction
and free the masses from
In order to become nothing
more than a perfect example of
what an ism is in reality
