Plastique!

Balls of steel?

…

For the politician,

try balls of plasticine.

Fuck You & Your News Cycle, Lies, Commercials, Pseudo-Documentaries, Projections & Postulations, Contentions & Migraines! … Time To Refrain, Reframe…

Gutted…

eviscerated, complicated, violated,

overwhelmed by stimuli,

need peace,

shut eyes.

Lawmakers, Parliamentarians, Power-Hungry Monkeys, Democracy’s Bastard gods…

And the leaders decided to fuck with the people,

exploit, manipulate, violate.

They did it because they could,

and then some more,

it made them feel *so* good.

Everyday Life, Hollow Social Contract

We play the game

(though it degrades us),

we are told we are meant to play,

and we believe it proper

(but, inside, if we listen,

it *feels* so wrong).

… Molested soul,

gaping hole:

the more you take,

the bigger it grows!

Dubious Rewards

I am so tired,

drained and depleted,

by the gimmicks,

complications and catches,

global capitalism throws my way.

…

Loyalty program?

Yeah, as if!

(Thought and movement control,

totalitarianism today…)

Everything Is Relative (aka: Are You My Relative Too?)

Regardless of what your American relatives tell you,

everything, indeed, is relative:

truth, justice and the American way,

is truth, lies and compromise.

…

The answer to the question depends upon time, place

and who is doing the asking.

…

Objectivity is admirable but, alas, illusive,

and screw liberal “New York Times” hubris.

Everything is

what the powers that be

want it to be.

Куколка

“Baby doll,” he said to me,

creepily,

“everything’s fucked up and then you die.”

He swallowed, then sighed:

“And don’t go thinking you can rely on me.”

Moving On? (aka “Unreal Estate”)

Swapping one set of problems for another,

alas,

I don’t consider to be success.

…

To quote the insightful words of Megadeth (1986):

“If there’s a new way, I’ll be the first in line… But it better work this time!”

(Which is to say: No way, no day!)

All The News That’s Fit (To Wipe Shit)

Headline catches your eye,

you pursue,

you take time to read and think,

invest,

it’s interesting,

you want to learn,

you want to know.

Alas, you are wasting your time,

it’s innuendo,

insinuations

sandwiched between a few bare-bone possible facts.

You get to the end of the article and you’re more confused than ever.

Journalism 2019,

1919,

1819,

yesterday and today,

someone always pays.

Progressive/Regressive… (aka: A Treatise On the Relativity of Time and Human “Progress”)

Today, I realized that my clock is running slow.

Which is to say, my clock has been progressively slowing over time.

Losing seconds, minutes, “life”.

In effect, my clock has been regressing, whilst progressing.

Indeed, ipso facto, as such,

I am reminded, on so many levels, how

the supposedly “progressive” in actuality,

for the balance of humanity,

is regressive.
