The Enlightenment
Is the Enlightenment still going on? No. It's dead, Jim. It has long been over, Madison was a queen. I am a pawn, I'm a dork. He was a four-leaf clover. It's not that I'm dumber, though I might be, It's that his time was war, while mine is peace, In my time we all love democracy, In his it was a pig coated in grease. Nobody cares about my calls for change, Back then, they listened to Locke and to him, The nation-state is our home on the range, Then, democracy was a dream, a whim. Do I want our Endarkenment to end? Dunno! Where does the arc of justice bend?
