WHO is fooling who?

Gary Booker

You all blaming the yellow man,

for the virus you failed to can.

Man on the verge of extinction,

living a life of fiction.

This generation won't get fooled again,

Cos love reigns over the pain.

The markets favor the rich,

food stamps for the bitch.

WHO is fooling who?

Anarchy next, or a bloody coup.

    Food stamps for the bitch, sounded so raw in my head!
    Most definitely a hammer to a nail on this one my friend.

    Sadly fantastic work!

    True words Gary - unfortunately.

    Welcome to MPS.

    so 'Greedy Immoral fallible human Scientists'
    (shock, breaking news - science isn't: our all-knowing Answer)
    were financed by greedy American investors
    to experiment using an undercover lab in China
    and develop (Banned in the 'Civilised' USA) weaponised diseases;
    inspired by a localised virus, effecting a bat population..
    it all went wrong, (as a common theme in humanity's greed)
    it escaped, became highly contagious and nature did its thing;
    WHO wanted to insure governments reacted
    to limiting the spread and finding vaccine solutions
    and so acted like it was a deaf and dumb organisation;
    plus China and America were equally to blame
    and both are the top two 'donation providers' to WHO
    (what could possibly be corruptive, about that scenario?)
    world governments, sht their pants
    cos they know they do the very same thing
    just that they haven't been found-out - yet
    so they shut-up and looked the other way;
    Media, can't report sht
    cos then they would have to backtrack
    and show themselves to be
    the morally bankrupt - rabid, pathetically poisonous vermin
    that they all are;
    and YouTube Guru's - choose to profit
    and 'grow their divisive audiences'
    by choosing 'sides' and becoming another
    broken chain in that information sharing, cynical mechanism
    modernity has conspired to abuse and discredit, so successfully;
    so now, here
    we type our mishmash of half-truth's
    and hypothesised assumptions, knowing
    under all our bluster and toothless berating
    even we few, who care
    are just: bewildered by the sheer depthless cesspool
    of our society's decrepitly corrupted state, where
    even just the concept of finding a place
    to start our healing, will render us
    completely and utterly: deflated...
    this - is our gift to those children
    we're fighting to provide-for and protect, daily
    this - is our legacy in the annals of history
    this: is why its so easy for so many
    to run around acting like, anarchy
    is a tangible solution, acting ignorant of its inhumanity,
    while other's plot to realise their 'bloodthirsty utopia'
    of 'woketivist nouveau communism'
    sighting it as being marginally better
    than modernity's 'futile nihilism...'
    and yet, still
    at the end of this opinionated, depressing tirade
    I can just shake my exhausted head
    look out from a nearby widow, and smile
    thinking:
    'not today!
    I'm still gonna Choose, to fight and salvage
    for the best of what life has to provide;
    so even if the world collapses around me, I know
    all I have to do - if I'm chosen to survive, is pick up
    a broken piece and try to find
    its broken home, piece by piece
    day by day, step by step
    while cherishing every gifted breath...!

    I would settle for the first four lines Gary.
    The fifth, ‘This generation won't get fooled again‘- oh I wish I could be that sure….
    Anarchy or coup? Hopefully the elements will wipe the population before then…though thankfully I won’t be around to either witness or participate.
    Repeating, Welcome to MPS – Responses to others work Is what gives MPS its energy – so go for it!
