"we are back.."
and have been back for some 44 years now
".. to two fairly conservative political parties again"
that's the time structure of social progress
small forward bursts that carry mommentum a few cycles on
followed in due time
by long consolidations and retrenchments
a logistic function
even st woodrow saw that clearly
he of " progress with the brakes on "
no reason to despair
the forward jolt will come
and soar up quickly
we are in the long good bye
that serves also as the long hello
...
we never know how long
the reactionary and foul wind
beloved of our capitalist employers
will blow
before that swift reversal comes
seems each long run of prevailing aweful currents
like we're in now
recaps in a gruesomely clownish medley
every and all past and present sins
of us
of
the white settler north amerikan nation
