Zoomanity

Zoomanity Ponderous pretense blindsiding any ability to cope, to hope, the fabric of reality gropes, worn Torn, promises shredding like swilly alibis Hoovers and fakers backing into their mangled apocalypse, can only stammer and stare Movers and shakers denying the twofers mindset, all those simulated regrets getting the glares The fear beneath the surface acting out All about doubling down on doubt Broken blather can only whine retractions and balk, gasp and gawk Ignorance dumpstering its future for lack of strictures Not a pretty picture Hard to know what’s going on behind those diverted eyes Easy to see what’s not shown, it’s what they deny An oil-disaster mindset weaseling the obvious proof A top-stories attitude optioning the truth What the…attacking the ethnic other What the…an extreme economy that will not recover What the…going with all those conflicted druthers Bankster logic bloats and swells, smirks “That’s tough.” Yea, that’s the stuff—duck and dive, staying alive, rim the ride Why won’t these wings glide? Racists winking at the camera and stammering alibis Second Amendmenters rationalizing the right of under-privileged children to die Politicians and their Bozo-moves never thinking they should be accused Marriages turning on each other—feeling used—not on each other’s side Denial as pride And the next boyband is out there selling the hook to their next happening hit Happy TV people hustling the newest perfect It Rightwing media smears jonesing all the well-rehearsed lies Wondering why they draw flies Immigration sorrows finding no shelter as the cartels fill mass graves Who will be saved? If all is vanity, is still believing in Justice a sort of insanity? Moving on to the next calamity Not a clue, Zoomanity
