Conservatism
By Albert Ahearn •
Conservatism's ideology 
Is static. For that reason, everything 
It touches stagnates and thus decays. 
We live in a universe that expands: 
Dynamic, and ever characterized 
By firm continuous change-alive! 
Conservatives, stuck in traditions 
Unable, feckless slaves of status quo 
Impede advancement for those souls in need. 
Those at the top espouse unwritten laws 
That favor power, wealth and selfishly 
Retain these hieratic gifts bequeathed 
By past idolized idealess fops 
Who gained their prominence on backs of men.
