False Consciousness

False Consciousness

(A Marxian Allegory)

I  gave  my  love  a  blood  red  rose.
She  said  she  got  a  lot  of  those
From  lovers  that  she  holds  more  dear.
I’m  not  her  love;  she  made  that  clear.

I  know  that  she  oft  loves  freely
Or  for  a  small  gratuity;
As  I  know  I’ll  love  her  really,
I  can  bear  her  promiscuity.

She’s  not  mean  with  her  affections,
I  just  wish  it  were  my  turn.
She  uses  cream  for  infections --
I’ve  heard  it  said  that  love’s  flames  burn.
