Promises! Promises!
Neither
Utopia nor Shangri-La
Can appear
in any manifesto,
Because
their authors quite probably know
Of necessity
politicians are
Constrained
by capital’s imperative
To, unhindered,
manufacture profit:
Should that
consume the world, then so be it.
A government
may continue to live
For however
long as it doesn’t ignore
The market,
for it’ll not be mistreated,
Or that
government shall be unseated
No matter
what the voters voted for.
Even
promises of sincere intent
Can be
frustrated by disinvestment.
D. A.
