From the bowels of my art, this poem goes out to progressive populists inspiring movements (and winning elections)…
Sewer Social Lists — Owed to Progressive Populists Inspiring Movements
“Sewer Socialism focuses on pragmatic governance and public services rather than revolutionary ideology. It aims to improve urban infrastructure and public health.”
Amidst trash talk
And logjammed politics
Rats!
Those dam socialists
Keep coming out
On top
In elections
They can’t afford
To say Uncle Sam
In such a dam nation
The cons holed up
In their sinking ship
Blinded buy a whiz dumb
As the fan of fans gets hit by the ship
Not see, nothing hear
Speak no eval
Even what rats no
Enough to not drown
And truly know
Who is in the same bout with them
Others
As just
As likely
To be exterminated
Bye their furor
Left in the gutter
Assembling the grate unherd
The chants to govern
The streets
The exiled hoods
The truly great
Unwashed
Working class
Over raided
As wince be for
The cries of rats
Out pooring
From the sewer
Sow becoming
The masters of destiny
More than their own
