Would the true mensch make mention of it?

Watch him there behind the wheel
in his sleek, gleaming, wheeled bubble
(at 60K what a steal!)
such cool driver, bald with stubble

With his self-satisfied smirk
whether on foot or SUV
he shall still manage to irk
in repetitious syncope

But were I the mild mensch to which am striving
would I mention who irks and what they’re driving?

Of context sorely nescient

How are we expected prescient
about all that’s devolving
when of context sorely nescient
whilst most values dissolving?

But who needs knowing
can’t we just keep going
conning, elbowing
pushing, and then crowing?!

Still ain’t there unsettling sense it’s bugling taps
that nations, environment are near collapse?
