Revolution

Every joke is a
Tiny revolution and
Over time will topple any
Authoritarian edifice religious
Or political by laughter and scorn
Which is what collapsed the old
USSR by the repetition of jokes
Such as why do the Polish
Security officers operate
In threes? Because one
Reads one writes and
One keeps an eye on
Those 2 dangerous
Intellectuals. In
Moscow the
Communist
Publication
Pravda or
Truth
Was
Compared
To Ivetzia or
News so jokes
Said there was no
Pravda in Ivetzia and
Ivetzia in Pravda which
Elicited a smile then a chuckle
Then a laugh then a sneer
As each joke chips away
At the foundation until
The rotten structure
Totters and falls
Like a religion
That twists
Faith into
Fantasy.
If you
Are
Fighting
Against a
Regime of lies
Just tell a
Joke that
Shows
Some
Flaw
In the
Official line,
But tell the truth
And it will set you free.
The difference between
Biden being ahead of Trump
In the national polls is
That Trump blames
His poor poll
Numbers
Not on Warsaw
But on Rick Perry.
