Blink Blink

And then you are gone

And everybody you knew

And everybody they knew

And everybody else

Are gone.

That’s the way it goes

That is the way it ends

For everyone,

Funny to think,

Like infinity,

Blink, blink, …

Twinkle, Twinkle

The rise of the idiot,

Social media is to blame

Every fool now thinks

They have something to say,

And the ability to say it.

And when they don’t like the truth,

They deflect it away,

“That’s fake news.”

Not bright enough

To know when they are schooled.

The stupid are loud,

Aggressive and rude.

The smart are surprised,

Irritated, often bemused.

Enduring Values

When conservatives lie and cheat

It is all in the process of getting things done.

When a liberal dupes a conservative

They are “evil, exploitative and sick.”

Doomed

War, which leads to

Famine, which leads to

Refugees, which leads to

Nationalism, which leads to

Terrorism, which leads to

Conservatism, which leads to

Neoliberalism, which leads to

Corporatision, which leads to

Inequality, which leads to

War…

All the while

Everyone ignores

Global warming.

Blessed

I count my blessings every day

People love me

I love them the same way.

I've always had food

and money

and somewhere to sleep.

I am smart

and healthy,

I know how to be sweet.

The blue sky

and the green grass

makes me feel complete.

I am content

have a life well spent

In things, I'm still intent.

Poverty

Homeless.

Can any of us

Understand

The mess

Of that?

What does

The future

Then mean?

Nothing.

That is obscene.

Do any

Of us care,

Who have a future,

About those

Who don’t? 

No,

We walk away

Giving thanks

It is not us,

In the lucky country.

Seriously

What do you think

The future of the world

Looks like,

With a moron

In the Whitehouse,

A criminal

In the Kremlin,

And the Chinese

Wanting to

Take over the world?

Arrogance

The earth

Has always been

More amazing 

That the humans

On it,

And yet

The humans

So often think

They are

On what

The earth

depends.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is

A symptom

Of the world’s problems,

As the queen’s

Mindless R&B

Suits her mindless glitterati

More interested in fame and wealth

Than creative health.

She Is designed to make the cash

Rather than further the human race

And she is what happens

When marketing companies

are dictating

what is meant to be good.

Misogyny

On what a lot of woman’s

Understanding should depend,

Is that you are just a hole

To a lot of men

This is a significant

Problem when,

Domestic violence

You’re trying to bring to an end

Go Figure

We all lead useless lives

Using up the world resources

All the time searching for meaning

When there is none to be found

Except for our own self importance

And some people think

The worst thing is

That we descended 

From monkeys?

Go figure?
