WAS THERE EVEN LIGHT WHERE THE LIGHT WAS BEFORE ?

 

  its 

the elderly man contest 

said the comedian

a light touch 

he takes 

with the politics


~

lets vote for a face to hate

or adore with flags

another naked meatbag emperor

who never ever had any clothes

  &

the shadow wings

of
social decimation

shall

flap un-faltered

~

the system is mad
across the gi pond

(ha but look whos talking)

qanon is the covid
of the silicon sand

  & 

i refresh the news
helpless as any cow
in the stungun line


~

theres comfort in my shampoo
that smells like basic earth

  oh 

  nature 

such a blameless trove of messes

~

  &

its such blind faith isnt it
when we drum
all the kids 

with that concept of fairness

when revenge is a dish
best served sweet

~

  theres 

dark at the end of the tunnel

where i dont even know

if there was light before

  &

the ideal we aimed for

is a con deal we pay for

democracy reduced

like a bogof sale
