Som i folkkulturen så på cykelturen

Pessimist, jovisst
“Efter nerförsbacke”,
tänker en cyklist,
“sen brant uppförsbacke!”

Mens optimist, kantänka
“Efter uppförsbacke”,
annan cyklist vill tänka,
“en lång nerförsbacke!”

Om ej blir så omedelbart
så nog i de flesta fall snart

‘They’ used to be plural, now procural

Outrage of neoliberalism
seems to have taken the backseat
(as well the fear of proto-fascism)
for the ‘neo-pronoun elite’:

Stray on the neo-pronoun path
where they self-righteously prance
we risk get mauled by minions’ wrath
in their identity dance

Their chase for the proper pronoun
shall seemingly never slow down

Pending collapse as if in time-lapse

Must be the fossil fuel
or the biggest banks!
Those from ivy league school
in government’s ranks!

We seldom seem nonplussed
that is never caused by ‘us’
Of course would’ve been unjust
as too busy to discuss

Still makes ‘us innocent victims’ fume
when we’re trying so hard to consume

Disadvantaged but they managed

We hail from people who had to toil
through ages in bleak subsistence
on some miserly morsel of soil
eking out a grim existence

Disadvantaged
but they managed

Now to ‘consumer’ uplifted
infinitely more stuff
How human life has shifted!
Why can’t we get enough?
