Is it the government’s job
to hide the truth from us
if it is in its own best interest
so we not lose confidence
in the already agreed-upon lies
which are in our own best interest
when the government is a Potemkin
Village big business resurrects
from time to time
when the common wealth
is sold back to us at
poverty-insuring prices
it’s not capitalism
we’re afraid of
it’s the rank materialism
that hides inside it
the cancer we support
posing as salvation.
