They Accuse Me of Being a Capitalist

They Accuse Me of Being a Capitalist

A Poem by MadalaJose
"

In rejection of capitalism; embracing social capitalism

"

They accuse me of being a capitalist:

 

Because I shook my hornless head

When the priest preached the gospel according to John Rawls.

 

Because I said, “Marx and Engels should have had glasses on when thinking

To correct some myopia in their communist manifesto”

 

Because I have Smith, Von Mises and Friedman

Gathering dust on my shelf.

 

Because as I was coming out of the supermarket, I picked the coin

When it accidentally dropped itself on the beggar’s feet.

 

Because I don’t leave bones

When eating a roasted chicken.

 

Because I pay taxes with my left hand

And with money from my left pocket.

 

I may be guilty of Social capitalism

But of capitalism, I am not sure.
