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

Remorse is re-heated dinner course

By remorse acquainted
have tried paint over my past
but by past I’m tainted
so the gloss just would not last

My body dinged, dented
mind mushed, fermented
my poor soul tormented
A Life repented

On Life’s ladder I wobble estranged
fear being put in the ground unchanged

Freed from solidarity! ‘Freed’?

Through Neoliberal contortion
said to ‘free us’ from solidarity
we thrash about in self absorption
in loneliest of insularity

But the ‘freed’ claim is specious
far from innocent gaffe
nor is the claim facetious
since on us is the laugh!

If we don’t fight together
that fierce One Percent Bunch
for sure (not about ‘whether’)
shall devour us for lunch!

+)
-One Percent Bunch = the Power Elites (more like ‘point one percent’) who are stealing our economic, social and environmental commons, by the methods of Neoliberalism

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!

Fri Vilja?

Tar du för givet att ha fri vilja?
Så kanske också kor å persilja?

Livstigen oförutsebar
så Mänska håll dej beredd!
Fast av oss oöverblickbar
kanske av Ödet vägledd?

Mens Förutbestämmelsen skylld parodiskt
blir Viljan romantisk hyllad melodiskt

Jumping to conclusion

Claiming to be percipient
while jumping to conclusion
on what’s merely incipient
shall at best stir confusion

If you think you understand
try hold off til explained
Spouting answers beforehand
shall appear featherbrained

Dismissive impatience
hangs out with complacence
