Someone posted a hilarious poem recently but I can't find it. Only thing I can remember concretely was "touch my mode of production, baby":D

Who posted this funny masterpiece that made me go to bed with a smile on my face? Show yourself, dawg!

That was a troll post, check the trashcan...

Hell, I even found it for you because I'm that nice...


ohh lenin, ohh marx
that devil mustache brushing against mine
ohh baby im conscious alright
keep talking about class struggle
because im starting to feel an uprising in my lower class
i like the way you touch my means of production
ill be your proletarian and you can be my master
you dont alienate any inch of my body
ill surrender my labour-power tonight
cause commies are better on TOP

:bored:

No, actually that's a terrible fucking poem. This is a good poem:



Perhaps not to be is to be without your being,
without your going, that cuts noon light
like a blue flower, without your passing
later through fog and stones,
without the torch you lift in your hand
that others may not see as golden,
that perhaps no one believed blossomed
the glowing origin of the rose,
without, in the end, your being, your coming
suddenly, inspiringly, to know my life,
blaze of the rose-tree, wheat of the breeze:
and it follows that I am, because you are:
it follows from ‘you are’, that I am, and we:
and, because of love, you will, I will,
We will, come to be.

Perhaps we have different tastes. As someone with a sick sense of humor, I thought OhhBabyTalkCommieTalkToMe's rap was awesome. Haters that wanna hate can suck my means of production. :p

No, actually you are incorrect. You see a poem is a literary piece whose purpose is the communication of an aesthetic qualities rather than, or perhaps in addition to, direct meaning.

The rap which you are interested in is nothing more than petty puns stacked together with a reference to general leftism. And this is coming from someone who is a huge fan of bad puns - that poem sucks. Furthermore, it's vaguely poking fun at homosexuality (get it???) which just reduces it further.
