Mixed Culture Stream
The impetuosity of inanities
Life spills, deals and fills
In tones and zones of vanities
Raised to a crescendo on hills and bills
On the beleaguered bottom
Society sinks into new perspectives
Derived from the atom
Devoid of subjective directives
Issued at the behest of power corridors
In lumps and stumps of mispronounced announcements
Trembling and rambling at defiant doors
Terrified and petrified at pronouncements
Scoffing at millennials
Accused of fussing over instant answers
To complex matters in denials
Over layers upon layers
Overlaying transitions from entrenched traditions
Assimilated and formatted over centuries
Of rigid implementations and regimentations
Too inflexible to consider modern luxuries
Striving to supplant
Commands and demands
In a slant
Teeming with reprimands
Queering the pitch
Making the foundation fusion task harder
To switch
From the tradition defender
To an accommodation of values of old
Held in high esteem
And new values so bold
They create a new mixed value cream within a mixed culture stream.
