Revival
To vote or not to vote, that is not
the question or the dilemma. Mark
a ballot for the candidate who
wants to keep the ship floating
or the other who wants to crash it,
both supported by capital, my capital
against yours, my ads versus your
deep fakes. There are differences still
between these two, not only their sexes,
not only their relationship to laws
and their administration. Yet, I wonder
about flaws through which the blood
of innocents flows, bombed by capital,
weighing of profit and colonial dominion
even now in the Age of Independence,
of post colonial bliss. Surely that blood
must be honored and from it nourish
some better, more fitting ecosystem
without great powers, power blocks
and communities of interest but finally
one world, one dream, one song
