The trouble with that is fascism may tend to grow

a few rich folks & hordes with nothin’ to eat but yellow snow

civilization would be outta balance & crumble & split

perhaps it’s there already, thus, we’re in a world of shit

~

Poverty, Poverty, what kind of seeds do thou sow?

Are they the kind that spiritually grow

tended carefully by Jesus & the Holy Ghost

or is this a political ruse that ought to be feared by most

?

We know now that Vladimir Lenin totally screwed-up

the Czar was pretty bad but Lenin was no butter cup

t’was a worthy try if you weren’t a Russian who starved & died

or an Elmer Gantry type whom Lenin had tortured ’til he cried:

~

“Poverty Poverty, why do you do this to me?

I’m so hungry with nothin’ to eat, God help me

I layed my soul down at your feet & what do I get?

a kick in the ass & the Pope’s permission to eat shit…”

~

You gotta remain calm when you stare death in the face

you gotta remain calm if you’re gonna get God’s grace

Lenin & Elmer don’t mean nothin’ at all

they’re just disappointed buzzards when you stand tall
