I want to enjoy this 

please don’t spoil it 

 

don’t wanna know 

its ingredients

 

politics 

or ethics 

 

it doesn’t mean 

I’m a fascist 

 

it doesn’t make 

for a contradiction

 

I’ll be with you 

on the barricades

 

in a minute

 

but I’d just like 

to finish this chocolate

OOOH I like this - very funny with a smooth nugget of truth too! I love a poem that saves its message tie the last line. Very good indeed!
