Joe Maverick Poet Didactic

Facing the Book

Look but don't see! a new World is being made
its fabric is interwoven with a strength of inconsistency
It teaches in pre-schools that
Run from 9 am until 6 with
The children of other lost children who are
Called parents. 'Parents’. It’s a useful
Word!! in this useless world.
That has re-modelled and fetes the
Carnal old realities of blood
Lusting empires of Olympian
Depths.! Trans-ported to Roman orgies to be impressed upon its young captives as their elders run the gamut of ‘endless hours in a
A bean counters paradise.'
Dealing with the cobbled together mantra of consumer ideologies as false idols strut across energy
Wasting screens there are wars, wars on waste wars on want, on pollution, on many many things. These are the
Rumours! also there are real wars
There are earthquakes famines but the end is not yet! viruses in the computers
A virus on the flesh, upon the
Men, who have become lovers of themselves.

Phyllis Babcock April 7, 2020 at 12:25 PM The world is changing and I am afraid not for the good. Our younger generation does not seem to see what us of the older generation see. Well stated. love phyl Joe Maverick April 7, 2020 at 2:50 PM Thank you for your thoughts, and reply Phyl; it's age schmage Though as all I want to do is say look out to the young who are Always the target of every 'new wave movement' yet when its All boiled down they are just counters in a game to make Others richer or more powerful. Same old same old.'
