the most meaningful things are gently done...
violence achieves nothing...


Pelican

They say our betters know that we
Are classless... but I know
I am a mere pleb to be thrown
Crumbs to.
No matter how they smug me up
I cannot swallow like a pelican.

They will remain themselves with alacrity
Switched to the high tuned
Unused gems and old bigotory they hanker
To hold onto...
Not knowing how close we become...

One more generation will do...

One more time and the plebs will lose patience...
I have my needles and wool ready in my coffin
To knit to halcyon days.

No need of revolution or violence
Just a throwing growing awareness.
Of us who find things hard to swallow.
Unless we are given a full slice.
I think that would be awfully nice!

Trotski was an intellectual,
Stalin was a nasty bit'o work,
Who purged innocent millions.
Who got the ice pick thro the noggin?
There aint no justice.
For those seeking justice.

The classless society?

I know my poverty,
I know my place,
I know my intellect,
I know my place,
I know 'Mario's Chipshop',
I know my plaice.

A crummy crumb's a paltry sum;
But yes, a SLICE would be damn nice!

A generation or two might just do it. Extinction? Perhaps a few more. Apparently males are become less and less common due to leaching plastics. Serves us right;-)
On another issue I disagree though! You got lotsa class;-)
