THEY

after Diogenes?

They’re all the same, you say?

Time and again I hear “they’re all

the same, they’re all alike,

corrupt, effete, elite, all in it

for themselves.” You’re right!

They are! But do you mean

you’re not like them? You’re not

the same? Would you claim

you’re better? Or just different

somehow? Or possibly

you think they’re

taking your share?

But how? Because

they’re smarter, faster, cleverer,

or started before the gun?

In that case, shouldn’t you run

a little harder to catch up?

Or could you throw the first stone?

Seems you were right

from the start:

they’re all the same

as us. We’re

all the same.
