Premium Member Desirable Truth
The old facts lie, the old truth dies Everything needs update The new facts open our eyes Revisionism is great New lemming-minded must observe This harsh reality The world we thouroughly deserve Our ancestors couldn’t see So after cleaning it looks fine This good old brave new world Its pharisees and philistines Its glorified absurd What’s new, looks old, and in reverse Its all the same,...

Sixty-six years and six months
My people set out sixty-six years and six months ago Give or take; sure, liberties taken, but I'll give her back, And if you want, they got a machine with occasional fact, But back to forbodingly sixty-six years and six months back, From where it began, when Mrs Mack wheeled out the TV set-up, A foot tall, a foot thick,...

Premium Member A Fly on the Wall
To witness the secret conniving, to hear of grand plans made on behalf of others ‘For the good of all’ – the absurdity of it in the face of disinformation – the whispered schemes by the vain leaders.

Premium Member Yet Another Politician
Why do politicians lie And our wallets deftly pry, Puff and bluster all the time Their intent to cheat sublime. Are we dumb or just naive Of that talent to deceive, Smiles aplenty to go round While broken promises abound. Why venerate them so And not tell them where to go, Pay good money after bad The whole thing is rather sad. When we put them to...

Whereas and wherefore hence and hereafter An idle balloon sits high in the rafters It’s hard to decide which one is dafter The one who just bought it or the “arts” crafter the media just primps and prunes while she stumbles in the ruins rejoicing in the things she brings while dancing on those puppet strings he sees a future glowing bright says he’s...
