or they would

of course it isn't so
but then again
does it matter that
political truth is
stranger than fantasy
or as George Orwell
might have said
The Truth
and nothing but
The Truth
is dead
and that's been the fucking truth
for years,
absolutely years
and all the while
the tiny ants scurried around,
looked at an overhead sky
and saw nothing
to disrupt their dreams
of digging
and they felt mad
or not mad.
it was all the confusing same
and they weren't going
to take it anymore,
or they would.
