Generational Divide

Tinted stars on flatter screens 
suave images do hype
Black & White visages from 
nostalgic era still archetype
Touched-up photos the ideal 
caricature to swipe
Still Life portraits from 
Renaissance remain heartfelt 
prototype
Gratuitous mavericks, in 
manicured uniforms with 
stenciled bats, freely gripe
Talented shills in baggy pants 
with suborned fealty flailed the 
wooden pipe
Poltroons in front of polished 
syndicate, with lofty promises 
alter egos fight
Festooned pols with burnished 
principles at the graven stump 
unite
Educated shoppers browse 
structured bins with 
genetically-modified produce 
tainted with chemical wipe
Third generation farmers in 
Roaring 20's preen nature's 
blight, then pick, sale organic 
produce wholsomely ripe
