Barely blinking we watch as humanity is sinking

Been traipsing in to Fascism
in brash American style
on filthy rug of Racism
spouting sick sentiments vile

Are we finding it acceptable
to indulge denial thinking
of cruelty insusceptible
observing while barely blinking

But all ain’t lost, thanks to Kakistocracy
we’ve been saved from worse: Social Democracy!

Consumer choice!

With valiant perseverance
in one united voice:
“We brook no interference
with Consumer Choice!

We blindly march in lockstep
while anger & planet smolder
We prattle, whine, chase & schlepp
Cassandras get the cold shoulder

How silly we’re beaming
unbeknownst benighted

Wrapped in impatience itchy shawl

O, humanity’s attraction
albeit just reactive
to ceaseless din of distraction
irresistibly tractive

Discord rarely averted
when our opinions brawl
amidst invective blurted
stretching the endless sprawl

Is rob Paul to pay Peter
merely ‘sound’ greed, no gall
thus no one is a cheater
for just wanting it all?

Merely business as usual
robbing Peter to pay Paul
only bottom line is crucial
so let’s try to rob them all!

Wrapped in impatience itchy shawl
splashing through Life’s icy squalls
letting mundane pursuits enthrall
gliding in fallacious valse

 

To gather poise

Turmoil churns nocturnally
contorted internally:

Flooded by angst at night
Clock on night table stands still
No way out, left or right!
While under thick blanket chill

After toss & turn til dawn
face the day, get a grip!
Though eyes blurred, facial hue wan
must try to right the ship

Rising in to the day’s noise
we must try to gather poise

 

Erudite by keyboard taps light

“Hey, just some quick research on the Net, and I’ll hold my own against any expert in any field! Advanced degrees & years of practice is just for the slow learner!”

Many a Net acolyte
goes from sheer neophyte
to solidly erudite
by mere keyboard tap light!

Thus she or he presumes
by unique prerogative
to learn from iffy fumes!
Ain’t that too rebarbative?

Not just naively superficial
but to sound outcome prejudicial!
