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?
