of Desire | poetry anthology | writings | weed's home page Christopher Logue (1926-2011) Exhibition of Christopher Logue Poster Poems 30 September - 7 November 2015 83 Page Street, London SWIP 4HA hhttp://www.robtufnell.com Know Thy Enemy Know thy enemy: he does not care what colour you are provided you work for him and yet you do! he does not care how much you earn provided you earn more for him and yet you do! he does not care who lives in the room at the top provided he owns the building and yet you strive! he will let you write against him provided you do not act against him and yet you write! he sings the praises of humanity but knows machines cost more than men. Bargain with him, he laughs, and beats you at it; challenge him, and he kills. Sooner than loose the things he owns he will destroy the world. SMASH CAPITAL NOW!But as you hasten to be free And build your commonwealth Do not forget the enemy Who lies within yourself. [There is an abridged version online which apparently comes from a Paris poster of 1968 - however IMHO it misses out the most important parts of the poem and reverses its essential meaning] ‘The Education of Desire | poet jome page anthology | writings | wee thanx to Jerry Kevy for info re the poem comments to weed/@wussu.com revised 11 September 2015 URL http://www.wussu.com/poems/clkte.htm,
