On Proletariatry and Other Subjects

I write today to those who may find themselves contemplating my poetry. As I look back on all that I've written, sometimes I feel a certain disgust. I see so much self-centered maniacy.
But I also see gems of compassionate, universal expression. I could go back and eliminate everything that doesn't fit with my current philosophy. But, after some thought, I've decided to keep it all out there... so the reader can see my voyage of learning.
From my many experiences, I've learned that there's no god and nothing super-natural, that equality and teamwork between ethnicities is needed, and also that substance abuse is dangerous. I honestly believe these things.
Something else I believe in is sharing of wealth. Small elites are holding huge amounts of wealth that are needed to save the world, really. Without some form of socialism, there can be no working environmentalism; there can be no world peace.
So, i suggest that rising poets glorify labors like farming, street-sweeping, construction, shoe mending, etc. I have no use for poetry as aristocratic adornment. Rather, it should be an inspiring spark for the left-wing.
peace,
Sean
