"Holy Cheese" [Reflections on Book Capitalism Is Fallen, Elwin Kettner - Chap. 7]
When cheese is Swiss the holes it has
Reflect hot air and razzmatazz
Of holes poked in a larger scheme,
Reflecting space where life is been –But is now absent from the scene;
Coherence gone, I’m far less keen
To buy the system – change my ditch –
There’s holes in both, low need to switch.Left ditch, location of my home
Of origin – from it I roamed
Right ditch? You’re kidding me – it’s holes
Abundant are – a land of Trolls.The part I could not bend my head
Around, T. Veblen through has led,
So now I see what’s there to do
If one would do the things he knew –“Mein Kampf” laid out Herr Hitler’s plans,
Which then went out across the land;
If one were really to make change,
Just write it up then do the range –Of things Herr Veblen outlines, for,
He warned of this in days of yore;
But he’s obtuse, he’s hard to grasp –
It’s clarity which his book lacks.“Prosperity with righteousness”–
A life like that our world would bless;
But that, I fear’s not in the cards,
Though worth is high, the way is hard.Where to from here? Let’s plug it in –
A part we’ve seen – let’s just begin –
Be open, frank, and the lay things out,
That each can see what life’s about.Thanks Lord for this.
