How lightning fast she shovels
words in to the hopper
phrases flimsy like hovels
while no one can stop her
Nor can she. How sadly
as distracting madly
Verbal sabre rattling
“All options are on the table!”
Beltway adulterated
phrase, a repeated worn fable
brainwashed, acculturated
Elite chattering
with scrounged-up oompf
in self-flattering
here goes, harrumph:
Blurting the same old canned phrase
(like talking dolls with battery)
piling on Empire’s proud praise
amidst harsh weapons clattery
Virtuous Officialdom
sure to expunge Evil
They stand up for Christendom
and Freedom’s Retrieval!
Those hard toiling ribboned Elite elves
they simply just cannot help themselves
+)
ribboned = here: honored with service ribbons, medals, awards etc
Barely blinking we watch as humanity is sinking
Been traipsing in to Fascism
in brash American style
on filthy rug of Racism
spouting sick sentiments vile
Are we finding it acceptable
to indulge denial thinking
of cruelty insusceptible
observing while barely blinking
But all ain’t lost, thanks to Kakistocracy
we’ve been saved from worse: Social Democracy!
Perfection in vain beseeched
Ever iridescent
loftily Perfection soars
allure effervescent
unmoved by she who implores
Through ages in vain beseeched
humans have grasped for Perfection
Hotly pursued, rarely reached
adamant in its rejection
Crimped as by pitiless pliers
or hammered flat on anvil, yammered
then thrown in to rejection’s fires
Still pursues our species enamored
then thrown in to rejection’s fires.
Still pursues our species enamored.
The odd ditty more wobbly than witty
Tired of hearing myself talking
in fat ego distention
of balking, hawking & squawking
Bring on an intervention!
Rarely found nibblers eager
taste my wilted phrases salad
culinary most meager
displayed in dry servings pallid
May lack knack but for the odd ditty
commonly more wobbly than witty?
Ingen tid för andrum!
Vadå, ska vi upphöra
att slösa å förstöra?!
Ej längre tid att förspilla
så vi rusar runt bråttom.
Har en planet att försnilla
så ingen tid för andrum!
Barnens framtid då? Ovidkommande!
Väl inte vårt tillkortakommande?!
Consumer choice!
With valiant perseverance
in one united voice:
“We brook no interference
with Consumer Choice!
We blindly march in lockstep
while anger & planet smolder
We prattle, whine, chase & schlepp
Cassandras get the cold shoulder
How silly we’re beaming
unbeknownst benighted
Not by taking but in giving
Down yet another alley
on yet another day
by yet another sally
stirring another fray
Such manner leads us astray
Let’s tread another pathway:
One that lets us live life caring
not taking but in giving
Our predator teeth not baring
Not blaming but forgiving!
+)
giving = also: the quality or state of being resilient
Wrapped in impatience itchy shawl
O, humanity’s attraction
albeit just reactive
to ceaseless din of distraction
irresistibly tractive
Discord rarely averted
when our opinions brawl
amidst invective blurted
stretching the endless sprawl
Is rob Paul to pay Peter
merely ‘sound’ greed, no gall
thus no one is a cheater
for just wanting it all?
Merely business as usual
robbing Peter to pay Paul
only bottom line is crucial
so let’s try to rob them all!
Wrapped in impatience itchy shawl
splashing through Life’s icy squalls
letting mundane pursuits enthrall
gliding in fallacious valse
To gather poise
Turmoil churns nocturnally
contorted internally:
Flooded by angst at night
Clock on night table stands still
No way out, left or right!
While under thick blanket chill
After toss & turn til dawn
face the day, get a grip!
Though eyes blurred, facial hue wan
must try to right the ship
Rising in to the day’s noise
we must try to gather poise
