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.
