One Foot In The Stew Poem by Julio 2 Amarante

One Foot In The Stew



After another, the man travels

Through his lectures like

A manifesto pro mobility,

Embedded Indoctrination.



Indoctrination was one

Of the stolen goods

From Marxist theories.

As plutocracies asserted its effectiveness



It was adapted, widened

And inserted

Into Western educational system,

Especially

In parliamentary democratic societies

Like UK and USA, not so liberal

And certainly discriminating

At its deep root

After all;



It dresses itself differently

On Nordic Countries,

Or Central Europe

As South European Late democracies

Always had used it as a

Discreet result

Of earlier propaganda apparatus.



Asia has always used subtle intimidation

Into an extended array of indoctrination

And social coercion.

The heirs of Bolshevik Marxism Leninism

Had it and never loosed it

Incorporating into its Capitalisms.

From Prague to Murmansk.



Mao influenced the autocratic capitalism of Southeast Asia.

Nipponese tradition of Emperor's omnipotence was at hand.

Asia, ancient I Ching

What does it really mean?



Australia seems to uplift its origins

As a British penal colony in the process

Of turning into cosmopolitan society.

Philippines are not to talk about,



Nor most of African countries

As being totalitarian and unequal

As most of Arab Countries are indoctrinated

Or pure plutocratic states as UAE.



Israel is the latent menace to world peace.

Justified by Camps and past struggles

May take a stand with South Korea

As unforeseen unpredictable pawns

As there are non-obvious similarities

To be fully understood.



As Latin America,

Given the strange case

Of Brazil

Where plutocracy cohabits with populism

In between amenities

Has taken paces towards change

But always with many minds

Subliminally convinced

Of forbidden subjects

Even of forbidden thoughts

Given its natural sense of Catholic Sin.

Inheritance of Portuguese & Spanish

Culture

Absorbed in syncretism

With others sources to form

An underlying commanding order.



One foot after another.

Our Weltsanschaung

Meets its artificial boundaries.

There is no such thing

As thinking outside the box



The Box

The Wall

Nightfall



Unseen

Super Paradigm

And it is not benign.



Nor based on Truth or Beauty



So we sketch over and over

Convinced Otherwise

O Illusion, how you rule



O Bewildered Hoof

Never Settle Under a Roof

Beautiful. World politics in one poem. We prolly need a new form of world wide ism run by AI programmed by AI. Human beings always fail because of religiosity and racism.
