the Modern State.

The Modern State.

This modern state has two parties Right and Left
they often madly fight in the pages of newspapers,
but they are essentially the same. Married couples
are guarantied a flat, there is no homelessness here,
villas, thought, are for the elite, press proprietors,
politicians and administrators. They live in a free
zone, out of towns, away from the people, this as
to avoid direct contacts with people that can only
lead to favouritism, corruption and lewd conduct.
Once a year there is a day of protest, trade unions
with banners, march, and make theatrical demands,
fireworks, and great quantities of beer and wine is
consumed, people don’t care who wins, there is so
very little left to fight for in this great democracy.
