Durant's Valentine

I would like to borrow
a cup of sugar from the grave
historian but he has
only hunger for the masses
driven to the depths by dark
religious forces who claim
salvation for the upper classes
which includes themselves of course
undermining the moral order
they ostensibly espouse
until the intellect exposes them
as frauds dispensing with their gods
but meanwhile back at reality
the oppressed the broken the uncouth
go on building a new myth of the truth
