plight of the raw pb radical


just read a nice piece by a 22 year old

 self styled society changer 

     on the  time and trouble gauntlet

when the rev don't happen
it takes a toll on the faithful


 oh oh oh
     how time  stress grief and opportunity
    winnows away at the rad heart fortress 

           till it  opens the gate
                   and
                sells itself  out

 =============================


just plain
   folks and 
  other good people
i say 
       so what 

so fuckin what 

who needs em 
always  plenty more pb raws where they came from

more every year

and besides...

 the  wage class lib gig
is a self lib gig

why ?


cause they  alone are reliable 
by design


proles have no choice

they can't sell out 

what they  got to sell 

no extra price for scabs
but a job
that means some other gob don't got one now 

such is the musical chairs of jobdom 
for low rated 
dime a dozen labor powers

just ain't  no temtation prices

no way to sell the soul

                  to buy a ticket out



like donny Q and hamlet too

faust is a boozewah  guy 



"for doin a job like this 

we pay  12  an  hour bub

no extra  
  if you throw in  your soul "

yup no bonus  

for your  own self
or even your 
    very close  personal family  of keeeds  



so shit  when the moment comes 

2/3 's
 will  fight

 2/3 's rise up

 2/3 's 'll take the full blast

u bet 

but hay all u  pb world remakerwanna bes 

unlike u
who at breakfast today 
are all reved to rev by  power
         of various mind games  

they'll 

  mostly only  scrap 
when they  damn sure have to 

they avoid the luxury lane
of bad  long odds altruism

they can't really afford it 

 they gotta save any margin they got 
  for a forced  show down 


hey no fear 

       it'll come

show downs are built right in to the specs too

they'll come

and they'll come 

again and again 
                        and again 

----------------------

 in our next lesson
 we'll explore  the question

are  well orged and plentiful pb pro-revs

a  catalyst to  social convulsions ????
