For Mayakovsky and with Apologies to Art Garfunkel and Langston Hughes
Can you imagine a
Socialist America?
With Parades instead of riots.
With Ice Cream instead of Galaxy Gas.
Rifles to the Sky instead of Switchs
I said can you envision a Socialist America?
Where every movie is made for TV
Because I've seen a Socialist America!
And let me tell you!

Sharpen the Sickle ever sharper comrades!
Pound the Hammer every harder!
Man the barricades!
Beat the enemy mercilessly!
Hit that picture of Treatler with the butt of your rifle!
Smash him into a million Treatler particles.
We keep us safe!
Is it a kind of dream.
Wandering over the hills unseen...
Or does it explode?
