wrote last poem months ago 
will not write another so 
guess i'll stick with good ol' prose 
prosaic from head to toes 
if i write anything now
post only me anyhow 
no one need read this my trash
algorithms turned to ash
say no more of politics
theology only tricks
you into false contentment 
lulls the brain like compliment
dulls the pain of resentment 
makes our love hate's complement
wish not to over complain
but ennui's bored me insane
in world prefabricated 
all new remains outdated
and what's real is really rare
but fake has millions spare
routine is the only route 
for time space life to run out
replace me with a monkey
and you'll save beaucoup money
sorry if self pity's wrong
self regard's just not so strong
seems i've carried on too long
so i'll end this silly song
