A Handful of Monsters

Neville

A Handful of Monsters

 

We already have a handful

of monsters

who each hide in the guise

  of grown men ..

Three of whom are clearly

  narcissists ..

But then, like all narcissists

they would

  have us, think otherwise ..

One is clearly

  deluded and quite stupid

while all those

remaining, are simply inept,

power crazed,

  bullies with over inflated egos ..

Yet sadly, it only

  takes just one, to fuck all of us ..

      Yes, a bad apple in the bunch.
      Same with nature, conservation, etc. Along come man (men/women) and f..... it all up (the F word, says Fido!).

        thanks for taking part in this social experiment Mr. O 🐧🐭👍

          It's horrible - those smirking trophy-hunters, etc. In the newspapers almost as much as KP. I never see her much in person these days, you know.

          In Chicago , certain guys would plan to take that one guy on a tour of a dark alley try to “influence” him to behave better.

            if one of em gets in again and he visits, I would be more than happy to pay any subsequent funeral costs 🙂

                Neville,

                … “sadly, it only
                takes just one, to fuck all of us ..”

                Only if we leave an open door for that “just one”!

                Guilty…but only for a short period of time!

                Laura 🌻

                  Oh' my word, I got just three things to say .. but in no particular order of priority .. 1) Its so good to have you smile down upon these words of mine Laura .. 2) Its good to have you back and hope you will linger .. 3) I love it when you talk dirty to me .. 💜🌻🌻x

                    True!! One solution to the problem is a world government, but I don't think we're ready for that yet. Maybe some sort of declaration of world democracy (with enforcement) may work until we are ready.
                    Your poem has started me to dreaming of the possibilities that would then follow. Global democracy (Enforced) would raise a lot of mistrust. We must also be well aware of the effects of AI. Anyways, thanks for bringing up this subject. My mind is now rambling. - Phil A.

                    • Neville



                      No problem .. I love it when your mind rambles .. because it makes more sense than a lot of folk .. Cheers Phil .. Neville

                      (so true wise Poet, thank you!)
                      soon, it will be a hard task
                      to find anyone, not exhibiting
                      narcissistic tendencies
                      in society, a legacy of modernity
                      consumed, by insular
                      mirage warped, selfhood fallacies
                      ... far too, soon
                      for me to ink these words, without
                      sighing, a stunted mourning
                      for all that hope
                      humanity, once represented and
                      promised
                      oh how we love, to curate our own
                      cyclic, tragedies

                        I fear we are both write .. write on brother M .. N
