A Revolution’s Toast, Spilled on the Rug

Amidst the grand banquet, draped in velvet dreams,
We gather to celebrate, or so it seems —
“We raise our glass to victory!” we cheer with delight,
But oh dear, the table’s missing, lost to the night.

The air is thick with promises, sweet as fine wine,
Yet here we are toasting, as the clock starts to whine.
“One toast to the workers, another to the fat cats —
Who knew we’d be sharing the same bottle like that?”

The feast is a farce, a buffet of lies,
As we nibble on hope while the real struggle sighs.
From the corner, a voice echoes, “What have we won?
When the revolution’s confetti drifts into the landfill, undone.”

We spill our tea on the rug, vibrant and red,
A metaphor for illusions, where our dreams have bled.
“Look at our banquet!” we laugh through the haze,
As we toast to the future, lost in the maze.

Oh, how we twirl in this ironic embrace,
Celebrating the crumbs that fall from their grace.
With every clink of glass, a reminder so stark —
That real revolutions flicker in the dark.

Yet still, in the chaos, a flicker of hope,
We compost the remnants, learning to cope.
For every spilled drink is a seed for the fight,
As we rise from the rug, ready to ignite.

So here’s to the mishaps, the laughter and tears,
To the broken promises and subverted cheers.
We’ll gather our courage, our vision renewed,
For even in chaos, we’ll never be subdued!
