When invited as a banquet date
did fate present him with a soul mate?
but his heart a Wheel of Ferris
instead he flies off to Paris
are rapturous flings but his sole fate?

When invited as a banquet date

instead he flies off to Paris
are rapturous flings but his sole fate?
The Elite’s manners imperious
power gets them delirious
then turns deadly deleterious
outcome never mysterious
Whatever injustices we decry
they shall dismissively justify
Even when finding
pavement coarse
and street lights blinding
on Life’s course
might as well let it run it’s course
as not much we can change, of course
Denial hard coated
invariably fractious
obstinately bloated
fallacious, fast & factious
Might ‘work’ within the rare moment
while a dubious bestowment
Does each of us think we know best
(though disclaimed in false humility)
though at Human Nature’s behest
ours merely purloined agility?
And if only one knows best
where does it leave us the rest?
Conversations smooth bubbles
shall easily puncture
burst on to fallow stubbles
at most awkward juncture
All while crashing comity’s concourse
rarely appears engender remorse?
Even between loving spouses
facts played down protectively
By politician class louses
evaded electively
When we apply facts deceptively
surely doing so perceptively?!
How not to cringe
at ‘lawmakers’ fringed
How Tories binge
in fantasy hinged
In their bungling chorus
some still spound like Boris!

Boris Johnson: the former UK prime minister
Most virtue-signaling flags
been hauled down came autumn
Those still up flutter like rags
bleached, frayed top & bottom
Let’s hope they still our conscience nags
those fighting flags with their hashtags
Along with other woke tag lines
the campaign ‘Black Lives Matter’
has seen taken down its yard signs
while White lies still do smatter
Signs a snug way to get involved
and largely leave issues unsolved
