We Burn Our Dirt

Our comedy shows are political discourse. The funniest are those of hypocritical nations- those elders that tell us what to do and deride us when we're not looking.We are certain that we will live long because the world is such a happy place. There are many things to laugh about. For example, people carve utopias on this earth by —forgive my laughter — by forgetting our history, absorbing propaganda and theorising on the best system of government; the "-isms." Isn't that hilarious? 

We look to ourselves 
and God alone . We're islands 
that push wheel barrows 
while carrying our cross. 
Who cares about our backs?
