Recent History (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones
Now it is approaching a year Since ground zero was created and what has changed? Nothing like as much as we first thought, September 12th, we thought that was it, there would be more attacks, America would bomb the shit out of various countries, Osama would blow the shit out of America and there would be the biggest war since Vietnam. Half of me wanted that to happen, because it would destabilise the US, damage capitalism And lead to a potentially revolutionary situation. I read in the paper Some French communists Argued that a vote for Le Pen in the runoffs Would destabilise the republic And so bring socialism closer. I can imagine nothing worse Than being faced with a tory and a fascist And having to vote for one. But in America, that is the choice on offer In ever single election they have.
