Reaping what we’re owed when just kicking the can down the road

Letting ourselves be distracted
blind to fallout, while all hellbent on
lame entertainment protracted
Real threats scorned, barely acted upon

Kicking the can down the road
in our anomie habitat
Thus reaping what we are owed
slow motion fascist coup d’etat?

Tell, when was cataclysm ever averted
by hiding out in consumerism perverted?
