Givetvis, javisst
hur trist vår rastlöshet
när allt så ovisst
i Covid instängdhet!
Saknar vi all insikt?
Har flackat vår förtröstan?
Bräcklig vår tillförsikt?
Sjunker vi i misströstan?
Mens av vårt släktes storstiliga inbilskhet
berörs ej världsalltets eviga enslighet …
Right wingers march in neo-heimat
breathe out air & thought pollution
To ignore the collapsing climate
appears their preferred ‘solution’
How shall this mess, surely soon, end
as false cheers drag us in abjection?
Pernicious threats makes deadly blend
in consumer dreams, wide selection:
Wars been raging without ceasefires
as do now global floods, wildfires
Nations lacking sense to back down
prance at very edge of nuclear war
they war game ‘limited’ showdown
while ‘suitcase bombs’ may blast through backdoor
Too close to the edge we totter
in political meltdown
by the self-styled ‘genius’ plotter
revealed himself vile a clown
Economy precariously
fumbles while greed’s ruthless prophets
on Wall Street most nefariously
amass usurious profits
Enabled by our own inanity
we’re perishing amidst insanity!
