Serve Immediately

adapted from How to Lose a Country Gracefully


Take one so-called reformer
Stir him into a failing system
Mix well and let sit for years

Separate the independent voices
Place in a airtight container and quietly discard

Next, scour the jails for allies
free them to add credibility
Beat them into the mix

Check for troublemakers and remove
Before they become martyrs
Sweeten with  one devoted army
Place in the heat and let it rise

Yield: Disillusioned democracy
          Sprinkle with poverty and crime
          Serve immediately
