is
writ large on the wall when you're born.
Nevertheless, some of us manage to cope
while others take up religion or other op-
iates, and thereby give cause for Marxists to scorn.
Religion and Socialists imagine perfections,
concocting
all sorts of lovely confections
which, on inspection, never reflect
anything
anyone sane would erect.
These inveterate optimists should be sent to a shrink so
they'll stop making up things “pretty
to think so”.
