Stupidity Is A Philosophy

If you don't believe me,
look around you, at where
self interest meets duplicity
and tell me that those people
who are double dealing
for whatever intent
multiply the effect 
-by denying to themselves
that they are doing it.

In That Apogee

of Capitalism and Democracy,
the USA, it is ever more clear
that there is there is nowhere further
to go than in the court systems.
There, awash with money,
the clients' duty is to be stupid.
The better to further the sophistry
of their lawyers, who's job it is
to make black seem like white,
and white an unidentifiable grey,
until only the richest care what shade
it is, because their shelter is the colour
of money, which they need the judge
to declare is within the constitution.
