The belly up dog
rolls in recognition;
celebrating the leash,
revelling in submission.
In a democratic house,
its institutions sing
“we are free” until
it doesn’t mean anything.
The belly up dog
doesn’t need to be told
he’s free to roam
the lonely nights of cold.
Inspired by a couple of quotes:
we now live in an era when the slaves celebrate their slavery.
Nick Tosches
Democracy is a con game. It’s a word invented to placate people to make them accept a given institution. All institutions sing, ‘We are free.’ The minute you hear ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’, watch out because in a truly free nation, no one has to tell you you’re free.
