Notes About The Poem

Flotsam on a Tide

("Blue Egg in Red Sea", 2020, original oil)

According to our betters,
The Karens who rule the internet,
We should all be aware enough by now
To know what is expected of us,
And so suitably clothed
In political correctness
Never offend again.
In this way each generation 
Will leap and bound
Ever adapting 
To the latest trend 
All together now
In harmony all
Flotsam on a tide.
