I find the paradigm shift you
Away from my tyranny
Settling for Oligarchy
Waiting for Democracy
Forgetting that Monarchy
Is not as bad as it looks.
Are you aiming for a polity
Dismissing the Utopia
Of Marxism or Anarchy
Looking for equilibrium
In this unreasonable rapport?
Why was I Bourgeoisie
While you were Proletariat
And where was ideological Third Way
When I was Atomism
And you were Socialism?
But now you're Classic Liberal
And I'm hopelessly lost
In a sea of categories
And rationalization
And vindication
Of the incomprehensible.
