GHOST ( 1 )

GHOST (1)

Did you see him?
Who?
The man
Karl Marx?
The beared man?

Yes
At the High Gate cemetery?
No
In the British Library

What was he doing there?
Revising and looking
For his books

It seem no body
Has read them for years
The last entry is 1960

Karl now started
To be agitated
For being abandoned

Little did he know that
Skin heads
Have now replaced
The red brigades

Fascist party
Is now represented
In the European Parliament

Trade Unions
Have been emasculated
Thanks to an
X- British
Prime Minister
Called
Margaret Thatcher.

Karl
Started to postulate
A new theory
About capitalism
And poverty

He saw that
Violent revolution
Did not work

He felt peaceful
Co-existence
Might work

Thus came with
A compromise
Let’s live in peace
Work for
The welfare of all
Forsaking
Our evil deeds

Avoid strife
And gain
Mental peace

Someone who
Read his piece
Said loudly
Shame! Karl

How can you
Degenerate and
Come up
With such irate
Wish washy ideas

I don’t believe
In conspiracy theory
But, High Gate and
CIA agent read
My diary

Might have contaminated
Marx’s grave with
A chemical
That affected his mind

That is why
His new theory
Big Society
Sounds Pedestrian
