Global Novelty and Poverty

Shuffling between high and low In search of sanity Thrown to the dogs despite its glow I deride the vanity That in much of the global world Climbs to the top Of the global agenda curled To biases so hot they climb atop To conform to the threshold Set to glorify Items whose substance and balance hold True to signify Hope for minorities Whose fate hate Grapples to consign to low priorities At an inane date Too late to ameliorate Fates swimming in abject poverty Despite advances in the rate At which technology and synergy spring up novelty In theory capable to reverse Injustices Inflicted on the black hearse Procured and secured at exorbitant prices Teases the vulnerable Whose concerns invite little goodwill In favour of concerns of the venerable At whose public functions vats of red they swill at will.
