Das Kapital-Ski Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

What Communism and Capitalism
have in common besides both starting
with a capital C is that in the former

its citizens pretend to work
and their governments pretend
to pay. In the latter,

Wall Street hoodlum adventurist
capital bankers constructed fallacious
investments promising to build

a glorified materialistic future.
Theirs, not yours.
YOU, you are their carroted servant.

They pretend to pay you miser interest
on money they make you believe
you owe them.

Under Communism people expect
very little and are overjoyed when
they get something for nothing.

Anything. Under Capitalism, people
expect everything. They are unhappy
with never having enough of everything.

I deduce it's best to have anything of
something than something of nothing
which explains that make-believe

is of paramount necessity. Which goes
to prove that banking on God
is just another Ponzi scheme.
