ODE TO KATARINA

BIG BROTHER DICTATED EVERYTHING,
THE COMMUNIST PARTY DIRECTED THE FLOW.
THE BERLIN WALL SYMBOLLIZED REPRESSION,
THE STATE SAID WHERE AND WITH WHO TO GO.

GOVERNMENT BREEDS INEFFICIENCY,
INEFFICIENCY IS THE COMMUNIST LOT.
WITH THE GOVERNMENT DOING EVERYTHING,
THE SYSTEM WAS ALL FOR NOT.

SHOPPERS WAITED HOURS IN LINE,
THERE WAS NOTHING FOR THEM TO BUY.
THE GOODS , THE STATE DID PRODUCE,
WERE SHODDY , LIKE A GOVERNMENT LIE.

TO WANT MORE IS SO NATURAL,
EACH STORY WANTS ITS SEQUEL.
COMMUNISM SMELLS OF FAILURE,
BETTER IS BETTER THAN EQUAL.
