the king is dead
*****************************
when gandhi described the brits in india
as a "satanic force," my guess is
he was referring to the fact that
the brits used indians to oppress indians.
*
today we are no longer oppressed
by an alien power structure
but by our own satanic bureaucracy.
this is as true of the homeland
as it is of the diaspora.
*
what's uppermost in the mind of the oppressed
is not to end oppression
but to get even.
*
the king is dead. long live the king!
