"Defining The Socialist" (by Joe DiMino)

Definition--The Socialist:
One who knows
What's best for the greater
Majority--equality of poverty
For all; but lives himself
By a more comfortable, less restrictive
Set of rules--
Sends his own children
To better schools;
His version of a Free Society
To silence all Party-opposition,
Demonize dissenting points of view--
Monopolize the news
With the Party's-targeted-propaganda;
Free-speech must be Party-truth--
The Party with permission to say
What the people
Must even pray
To its certified God;
And take away weapons,
The male rod--
The Party only entirely omnipotent
When accomplished this,
Every citizen squats to piss….
