Reformation
Maintaining ‘Socialism’
as watchword
Can seem
unlikely, when realpolitik
Is
succumbing to the three card trick
Of the
slight of hand dealer in absurd
Demagogy,
when the popular vote
Is placed on
populist blandishments,
Falsified
promises; reason relents
Its
influence. Without considered thought
Reform,
however tempting it appears,
Remains a
mistaken gamble to make,
Especially
with the future as the stake:
Gamblers
regret can last for years and years.
There’s none
as asleep as the mistaken,
Being so, so
difficult to awaken.
D. A.
