Dialectics

historical forces 
swirling spiraling
blindly inevitably
advancing toward 
the end of history
when scarcity is gone
each taking 
according to need
each giving 
according to ability
and best of all
the struggle
swirling spiraling
happens through us
but not by us
and when things go wrong
it's just the dialectic
so if it seems bleak
trust that one day
the antithesis will emerge
and counter-revolution
will be engulfed 
by revolution
and so on
until the final
inevitable conflict
after which
things will be better
forever
unless the planet 
burns up first
but if it does
at least
it's not our fault
blame history
