Poem Without An End

after Amichai


The wealthy politician

promises the citizens 

to rid the government 

of wealthy elites 

gets elected,

installs wealthy elites

to run the government 

for the benefit 

of wealthy elites,

who run for election

promising 

to rid the government

of wealthy elites

gets elected.

Hehe, a vicious cycle. Which Amichai poem did you have in mind when writing this one?
