Poem Title:
Poem
In a modern life that is risqué Pot mentality that grew and grew One rides upon spacious freeway With an ungenerous point of view. The stratus to reach, man’s destiny A monument to a nation’s pride, No power to ride, a mutiny Abrupt anger with every stride. Man’s achievement to the moon and back Evolution within outer space Yet never to make a single track To greet a new neighbour face to face. Today’s government wearer of green Issue a tax to clean up the air, Everyone knows it’s only a screen Pollution of the soul to be fair. Industrial propaganda this Causing more strife upon work shop floor Unceasing improvements “Judas Kiss” Spent work force expert’s, used as a whore. Corporation fast track the classroom Certificate of achievement apt, The seed of naivety to groom Moulding of world leaders to adapt. The same classroom so full of knowledge? Production “Just in Time’ to attain Robots in abundance this college The power to wait to ascertain. Life today measured by the Hero Big men acting out their movie Reduce common trauma to zero These small characters, not so groovy. Today’s annual assets augment One’s skill atoned to make a living, The ease of earthly values well spent This cycle of life unforgiving! © Harry J Horsman 2011
