Premature Celebrations

If the past is any indication the future beckons sarcastically

after more than seventy years of infamy 

only optimistic fools can deny the reality of capitalist villainy 

ruled by fraudulent Wall Street puppets 

who are not about to disappear into bowdlerised textbooks 

so best be pessimistic and not hopeful 

because atrocious crimes against humanity won't go away.
