I Win (Ode to the Peasant Politician)

Your pursuit of power and control over me is both infuriating and understandable. You want to take the shortcut in life, and have been presented with the opportunity to do so by your daddy / buddies / willingness to suck your party's dick for a lifetime. You want to keep your good thing going - the government money car, the money you siphon off from the Euro funds together with your cousin, your whatever-in-law and your compadres. You want the biggest house in your fucking peasant village (man, you couldn't build a nice-feeling house if you had all the money in the world). You want to fuck the best dumbass girl money can buy out there in the 10 km radius of your chalga home base. I hear that. A man of your lack of talent, ability and character WOULD want that.

You screw me out of the opportunity to see this country and normal people's lives made better. A majority of your type have grabbed a hold of the bone and will not let go unless your sons by some magic stroke turn out to be better than you (fat chance of that, I know). You block every good idea people have because it doesn't work for your agenda. You want it all for yourself - the material, the tangible, the cheddar (in other words, everything that you ever see).

The problem is - that's everything that you'll ever see. You'll never hear music like I do. You'll never understand ideas like I do. You'll never be able to be really curious. Deep down, you'll never feel good about yourself - you'll mistake hierarchy for respect.

I will let you have the bigger house, because it won't be nicer and cozier than mine. I'll let you have more money because you can only buy things, you can't buy experiences for yourself, like I can. I'll let you have the bigger car because who gives a shit about a car. I'll let you have more power, because I am my own man and the world is big enough for all of you and me at the same time. I'll let you want to fuck with me and my ideas and desires, every day if need be, and I'll understand that it can never really happen. Me and you, buddy, we don't inhabit the same universe.

So I get what I want and don't have to fight off the dogs like you do, every day for the rest of my life. Bad deal, huh?

Fuck you. I win.
