AT YOUR SERVICE
L. B. Mek said:
you forget, dear Poet
many more, \'of Us\'
are busy
pushing our neighbours
off-of life\'s ladder, just
to get one more step, closer
before we can start
being chosen for elevated
enslavement..
yeah, that\'s the herd majority
we represent
that\'s how much our mind\'s have been warped
we wage wars, child vs child
while those in power
get doctor\'s notes for their children
or have them placed in officer roles
like, safe at the back of the line
like royalty, that love displaying
their soldier uniforms
as-if, their existence is a service
for us...
yeah..
yeahhh, right? lol
well here\'s to your pristine uniforms
coming our of battles, as spotless
as they entered them
so you cam visit, veteran hospitals
like \'equals\'
yeah
yeahhh, right? lol
\'For it\'s Tommy this, an\' Tommy that, an\' \"Chuck him out, the brute!\"
But it\'s \"Saviour of \'is country\" when the guns begin to shoot;
An\' it\'s Tommy this, an\' Tommy that, an\' anything you please;
An\' Tommy ain\'t a bloomin\' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!\'
from Kipling\'s \'Tommy\'
(
https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-15386
)
and we\'re all just modern \'Tommy\'s\'
waiting for our turn, to be useful
that\'s how, warped
\'they\'ve\' devalued the worth of a
life
nihilism and atheism as their tools
enslaving us
with our very tools for self-emancipated
freedom...

AT THE ROYAL PALACE
L. B. Mek said:
\'looking up\'
gives us a great target
but we never
want to imagine, how
looking
at either side of our shoulders
or that
refractory, image in the mirror
holds just, as much
accountability for forging
the world we live in..
easier
to be down here, pointing
up there
and then when time comes
have fun, run riot
let it all out
tare them all down
brick by brick
and guillotined head after
guillotined, children\'s head..
yup
worked so well, for the French!
lol
a fun read, thanks for sharing

If ever a saviour was needed for the human race, it has got to be now.
We must be the most destructive species ever.

L. B. Mek said:
and exactly, what percent of the Indonesian population
can afford the total living costs of attending a university...?
how empathetically priced do you think those fees are?
and why does a learning establishment
need such high profit margins, do you think?

I\'D SEEN
L. B. Mek said:
an informative write
crazy how the world
likes to depict, famine
as a phenomenon
maybe, one centred on those
parts of the world
with people who have
more colour to their skins, it isn\'t!
Never, can be
famine is a plague, that humanity
has been running from
since the beginning of Time..
It\'s just that now
we have bureaucratic idiocy
to give it
that much more opportunity
for causing the devastation
it mercilessly desires
