The darkness of the hollow void
The shadow which forever scares,
Like a hidden, undeveloped soul
Once raised is venturous and careless.
Innate to build these bars and walls
Selects the rain instead of sun rays.
By privilege survives alone
And seeks the memories of errors.
What's hard to reach that spins you on
To reach and punch your own shadow.
And find the grave of once buried soul . . .
Your only friend - an abandoned wanderer.

Karl Marx's Theory
Some things appear in history twice,
First as tragedy, then as farce;
Comparing the classes of men and mice,
Struggling greatly, as viewed by Marx,
One may wonder why the merchant's price
Equal to goods and goods to price?
Who was the maker of Federal tax,
A master of thinking out of the box:
Were the men from Lombardi
The first lawful thieves
Collecting loans,
Knocking off teeth?
Life as illusion bore a worthless dream,
A labor of love, Marx's "Capital" myth.

I enjoy Tat's biting sense of humour... Even Marx would have had a capital enjoyment !
