the little difference

 Little difference

Communism was a Russian spy
smothered by the soft pillow of democracy.

A system that gives us voting rights
than blithely ignore our choices.

Not so hasty democracy sell toys and
multi-coloured training bikes.

Democracy gives us trivialities and porno.
Communism had vodka bought in any kiosk.

They both sell us dreams, and we buy into it
especially at Christmas.

Democracy gives penury and heaven as a roof
Communism gave us Gulag and brawny intellectuals.
