Scholars and Bourgeois

The scholar has told the bourgeois
that a worker is a man for all that.
But the bourgeois has told the scholar
that a worker is a commodity for all that.
Because the scholar has vision,
the bourgeois calls him a visionary.
So the bourgeois laughs at the
scholar’s vision
and the worker is left without vision.
And the worker left by the
scholar without vision
talks about liquidating
both the bourgeois and the scholar.
The scholars must tell the workers
what is wrong
with the things as they are.
The scholars must tell the workers
how a path can be made
from the things as they are
to the things as they should be.
The scholars must collaborate
with the workers
in making a path
from the things as they are
to the things
as they should be.
The scholars must become workers
so the workers may be scholars.
