The Reason We Are Stupid

The reason we are stupid
Is a conspiracy of racist white men
Who want to pioneer the future
By turning all art into its most banal
And turning all beauty into its most hideous.

If one really wished to fight racism
One would fight the injustice
Of intelligent ideas being battered down 
By populism.

For the markets failed us
And are a cracker
Striking the backs of poets and visionaries
Denying them the right to speak.
Yet, the very same who fight racism
Are only a brand like deodorant.
They are just the catalyst to the race war
Where we all. in our divisive lines
Hurl warfare upon one another
Because we cannot understand
How similar we all are.

No one listens.
