Notes About The Poem

Microsoft Bing: DALL-E 2

A Fly on the Wall

To witness the secret conniving,
to hear of grand plans
made on behalf of others
‘For the good of all’ – 
the absurdity of it in the face of disinformation – 
the whispered schemes by the vain leaders. 
Ah, the illusion of significance in their small universes;
gaining nothing, understanding less. 
Yet, I long to be a witness to their follies;
I wish I were a fly on the wall.
