one was always
in relation either to a space,
the four walls of a room
in relation to others
within that space,
and the subversive relation
between whoever was the conductor
lecturing his/her subservients
all locked-in within that space
each space was filled out with propaganda,
its converts,
its believers
each ideology dribbled on like rain
was obediently soaked up
from marxism to communism to religion to americanism
a submissiveness of mind and body
the conductor controlling all the voices-
a never ending monarchy of conformity
within a hierarchy
a polemicist theater, a show
same rhetoric, same repetitions
everyone went there like to a pissoir
and was handed a discourse ad hominem
as if under the influence of a 'higher' law
yet to come...
