1987-06-25 – Socialism

All shine and glory to begin
and all gray and lifeless later.
Theory come onto the rocks;
a rough stab of an idea gone wrong.

and the idea of war;
such an impossible combination
the very though brings the tears.

They take children’s education
so much more seriously than we do.
The grounds and equipment here
are not parceled out economically
but rather socialistically.
