What do you think this poem is about?

Where is Socialism?

Be a banyan or onion,
The plant shows all its blades to the sun.
No inability, no discrimination.

Be a pine or a vine,
The plant pumps water to all its parts.
No inability, no discrimination.

Yet they studied not any socialism.
We, the socialists, default.
