Academicians …
masticating and
grinding their ‘truth’
Spewing out
what they would have us swallow
in gagging choking egotism
Regurgitating it back
in the toxic chunder
of a narcissistic reality
Papering the walls
of modern thought
with the bibs of their retching
As they hide within
their ivory towers
—festering in mass

Great write Kurt, once again,as always!!
Thanks BBG. It's a running feud I have with the academic
self-righteous and phony arbiters of 'truth.'
That’s freaking insightful. I too have an issue with segments of Academia that seem to concentrate more on keeping their pompous club elite rather than dispensing useful interpretation to neophytes that could benefit. I really love the word masticate and I’m jealous you found such a great way to use it
Very kind of you to say.
Thanks
