The Future Beyond Capitalism
Catastrophic collapse
Of capitalism!
Anarchic regimes spring
After the tectonic plates shift
This is not a future envisioned.
Bucolic views welcomed at the shock's aftermath.
Anarchic regimes:
oxymoron indeed.
Anarchy brings order to the restless folks.
All the banks are shut.
The currency is turnips of juicy kinds.
Five and a half turnips; a cow and a calf buys
So the ex-bankers redeemed
are delivering milk
To housewives still in their nightgowns.
The fruit machines, candied apples spin!
Laughter ripples
And resonates on the graffitied walls
Of cottaged industries!
Flourished are these industries
Again!
No more corporate whores
with cash stushed
in foreign tax havens!
Redeemed they are
Crunching juicy turnips
In exchange of sweat and blood
like common folks!

Almost worked for a while in
Almost worked for a while in Cataluña. At least the ex-bankers won't have to worry about the housewives in nightgowns not paying, as I did. Stushed = stashed?
Your poems are always original and refreshing to read.
