“But of course it makes sense because we are Third Worlders and Third Worlders are forward-looking, we like things to be new, because our best is still ahead, while in the West their best is already past and so they have to make a fetish of that past.Remember this is our newly middle-class world. We haven’t completed the first cycle of prosperity, before going back to the beginning again, to drink milk from the cow’s udder.”

“Real Third World (The Sonnet)
Third world countries are not,
Those from Asia and Africa.
Some of the real third world countries,
Are our United States and Russia.
It is behavior that makes the person,
It is behavior that makes the nation.
Worth of a nation lies not in currency,
But in their sense of assimilation.
A civilized nation doesn't say,
We are the greatest nation on earth.
Only the underdeveloped yells around,
We are the nation supreme, all others are dirt.
A first world country is born of first world citizens.
A citizen becomes first world by defying all divisions.”
