martyrs

Bicicletta

to all the martyrs 
of the 
          Revolution, 
did you sacrifice 
your 
          lives 
for the Revolution 
to be 
          unfinished 
and longest running? 
for an eventual 
          human existence 
where 
it is easier to imagine the end of the world 
than it is to imagine the end of capitalism?
and must 
          my heart 
eternally 
          bleed 
each day, 
each year 
for a new 
          martyr?

    A new martyr for whom it can only ultimately be conjectured that their effort resulted in…..nothing?
    Your lines “it is easier to imagine the end of the world
    than it is to imagine the end of capitalism?” have an appropriate level of sting, I feel.

      Thank you very much for the observations.

        Apologies - it was once the habit of folks here to welcome newcomers to MPS. Seems to not happen as often as it should recently. So here, for what it is worth -Welcome. Please feel free to engage with others here if you feel they are worthy of your attention. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
