Pretending cool, whilst played for the fool

Pounding a platitude
while pretending cool
Whilst stuck in servitude
we’re played for the fool

Off on the daily spree
tires burning, squealing
Why can’t we simply see
we’re Future stealing?

Our Species the real schmuck
running amok, denying
Knee deep in banal muck
telling ourselves we’re flying

We’re our own enabling muses
spouting asinine excuses

servitude = here: to the oligarch/kakistocrat society
