Hindsight is 2025

Deck the halls with gold
and whitewash society
erase the bonds of culture 
and that unfitting history
focus on how pretty 
your teenage bride will be.

Your poem is haunting and incisive, wielding satire with precision. The juxtaposition of festive imagery and cultural critique is chillingly effective. You’ve captured a dystopian mood with stark clarity—each line a mirror held up to power. Keep writing; your voice is unflinching and vital.

Thank you Danny. I’ve been described be more than one poet here as a word economist, I mull a thought or emotion until my brain spits something out, a voila. xomo

Maureen, you highlight the cultural decline that seems in vogue right now for some. Thanks so much for keeping a topic like this in the spotlight! Smiles!!

It’s absolutely dizzying the trickle of insanity (for lack of a better term) the news cycle is spewing. Cray cray ;), xomo!

You got me with with that catchy title, and you pulled me in with the truth of your words. It's a crazy time America is going through. You nailed it with this poem. Blessings.

Thank you lovely. The world watches with bated breath. Margaret Atwood fiction shoulda stayed fiction. Sending hugs your way. xomo

But I hold dear those existing diminutive wellsprings of sanity (of which yours is one), to absorb and replicate our harmonic voices, the noble aspirations of our global community finding grace enough to secure our faith in mankind’s victorious future and I extend this call to all who cherish Democracy & The Common Good.
