THE
PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALS
© Farouk Asvat
The intellectuals
From
the college of little knowledge
Still
talk about Marxism
Analyse
the situation
To
say 'The time is not ripe for a revolution'
But
the children are already rioting
An'
the workers are already on strike
An'
the terrorists are already on the border
But
the intellectuals still waver.
It's
the wiseguys on the corner who say
The
days of the law are numbered
