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
