in these days...
in these days
of endless
self centered
mindless promotion
the product
suffers
the essence
of what was
once
purpose
integrity
exploration
to perfection
now
merely
a brand
a stamp
of recognition
that generates
tik toks
in the face
of rubles
no meat
on them bones
the dogs
have licked clean
at least
they
understood
it’s value
a world
gone clown
fear everywhere
yet no one
even mentions
the crisis
and no
we are not
killing the planet
just flattening
the curve
into oblivion
genocide
front and center
Royal Jews
get a pass
by
bye bye birdie
the poisons
are after you
too
losing feathers
lately
we all wait
in the shiver
of the megalomaniacs
under false
pretense
smiling lies
even a child
name Greta T
just who the f’in
glory
is she
who deserves
such
reverence and belief
branded baby
branded
a baby calf
marked
for the long
drive
across
winter’s desert
planes high
feeling good
after walkin’
in the water
listen
to the big push
that sings
swings
rock n’rolls
talent
unlike
today’s corporate
structure
of too big
to fail model
which is more
integrity lost
over profits gained
as Art
has become
poop in the left
wish in the right
all gone wrong
as the banana
rots
the duct tape
dries out
the comedian
jokes
at the ruse
of dirty laundry
money washed
transparent
even the ink
is gone
one
last query
for you all
to ponder
more gold
or silver
around the world
in these days
of endless
mindless promotion
