It is the task of the pragmatisers The relativisers, the ultimate interpreters Explainers and other imposters and official thinkers Of the land of the free To perpetuate and reproduce The psychomythology of reified self-mind

Marx's still young But old chestnut That the philosophers have only interpreted the world The point is to change it Is embedded in a nexus of dialectics

It is a G&CE to see it merely As a gung-ho call to arms It is rather a statement About the nature of reality A denial of the separation Of man/woman from revolutionary practice
