[Marxism] His master's voice

His Master's Voice ---a Poem by Ifti Nasim


                      HIS MASTER'S VOICE

    (on the inauguration of the President of  The United States of America

            Barack Hussein Obama)



Washington is rejoicing

The inauguration of the president

Barack Obama

Minus his middle name

Who is looking for some change 

In the White House

Just like his brother on the street, asking

"can you spare some change"

but there will be no change.

The whole world is duped again.

Little Terrier is still on the record label

Listening to his master's voice

But this mutt is going to speak his master's voice.

Right now America is like an economic souffle

Crumbling and deflating

And Oprah Winfrey is renting

A hotel to celebrate the Change

Which is going to be celebrated 

With firework in 

Gaza, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq

And possibly Iran,

Burning the children alive.

America is going through the Change, a

Cultural, political and moral menopause.

And you want me to celebrate 

Because a black is in the White House

Not a real black

½ black

1/3 black

2% black

less filling black

but as long as he is going to finish

his master's dirty job of bombing.

He is ok because he is brown.He can stick around.

So this my gift, a poem, to you Mr. President and

all the casualties of

women, men, children, animals

and the house mice, you are going to drop bomb at.
