Click, tic, flick busy scrawling our life’s away
We’re freaking-out when, tell us when
Hating, whoever they label as a villain
Forgiving those Magazine cover paint-brushed
Faultless…
Our capacity to verify black-eye lies
surrendered
Just as long as they feed us escapism
makeups,
Rapists released after just a few weeks,
Child abusers given welfare houses
Barely a street from day-care centres,
War refugees vilified for burdening
A mirage economy,
A robbery murder in broad daylight
Just by our local corner shop
While we’re told it’s in our interest
Local police stations, should
Be, obsolete…
Millionaire prime minister’s
That can’t explain how they made
All that campaigning money
Yet, they’re MI6 approved to run
A country’s beggared treasury…
While a decrepit president, mumbles
Lies and enables his sons drug abuse
While funding six billion-dollar wars…
Bombarded daily by evermore extravagant
Absurdities
We lack the will or resolve to question it all
News as our breakfast and supper fallacies
Veracity
Deemed an archaic impossibility
thrown out with morality’s water,
History
Cancelled outright, warped &
twisted by reactionary policies
so we’re collectively free to cyclically
repeat , same
generationally inherited, mistakes…
It used to be, every time
A war started somewhere
in the world
Our ‘leaders’ would collectively
talk about, Peace envoys
Now
it’s all taking sides and threats
Sanctions and funding\'s galore…
‘Theory of evolution’
May have used a wrong word
Too assumptively humanistic
‘Theory of inversion’
Seems to fit humanity’s antics
much better! i think…
