COMRADE BABBLE * It’s true that every revolution needs a theory, comrades But comrades, to sell theory you need resources It’s true again comrades, every revolution needs art But art itself needs funding, comrades It’s also a truism that making revolution In itself is an art, comrades But then again comrades Every art has patrons and financiers To cut a long story short, comrades Every revolution needs funders Just to be frank comrades Every funder is an investor & Every investor needs Return on investment In clear terms, comrades Funding a revolution is in itself The art of doing business with government Because money has the final word Doing business with government Simply means running the country Without the inconvenience of elections Or the pry of the public eye (on your private space) As much as official politics is The art of accumulating capital Without the inconvenience Of having start-up capital Or being asked for a collateral But to do work (and any business), comrades You need dirty hands sometimes Some things require the special Skill of rolling up your sleeves Everybody knows this To clean up the debris You sometimes have To slide into the mud In such special cases When rough hands And much thicker skins Are in high demand It is not unusual to outsource After all in every war There is a use for hired guns It’s called special projects, comrades Only useless journalists Hell-bent on besmirching The good names of public officials And our Samaritan corporate citizens Use such ugly names as Mafioso Everyone with some soft matter Inside their head will surely know Corporate mafia is an oxymoron Of a word invented by ridiculous Scandal mongers in the tabloids Government and business don’t do dirty work We just outsource some Cleaning jobs to appropriate companies That’s part of growth and redistribution If you disagree you have A right to air your views That’s the most terrific thing About our democracy Every jill and jack has a say Even a poor little brat Can have the loudest babble But at the end of the day, comrades It is money that provides The strategic network cable That connects to power Once you understand this You will not advocate some Strange theories and practices When the scriptures bear testimony Power and wealth is shared Between Caesar and God The people’s duty is very simple Just give to both what is due Most importantly Be prepared to Kill and die for both Just to make the distinction Between nobility and ordinariness When the chips are down The responsible corporate citizen Shall choose his own cross And select the executioners The point being simply to ensure He does not get the raw deal Of an ordinary death From the knife of A common criminal who Would not even afford bail Strike a deal with the police Or get early parole On account of a terminal disease That will allow him the comfort Of playing golf or wrestling cows As soon as he is released
