For the Idealists

I feel a little sorry for the idealists
Trying to fix the world through politics.
Correcting a culture where the value of people
Is assessed by their value to an inhuman, inanimate economy
By prohibiting a particularly pernicious chemical
Or permitting ten percent of the population rights (and misery) marital
Is akin to putting half a band-aid on a bullet wound,
But it's not their fault. No one made the right tools.
