Chicanery

Couach potatoes!  Scrambling for trivialities 
The eyes delight, detrimental to their intellect 
Immersed in gape at the melanin free race
Laying eggs of colloquialism to metamorphose into
Formality cherishing fool's errand with hilarious gestures 

Blindly swaggering when near a shelf of 
Bibliographies,deaf to the wail of books left desolate 
Heading for the sitting room to clinch the cosiness 
Of the couch which Springs up felicity like an oasis and academics viewed ad draught calling acidity

Recording "etiquette", becoming a lady or a gent, 
Being flirty trendy and touched 
Like an umpire as points scored 

"civilised" if this be be, count count not l among thy subjects 
Cast me away from thy chariot ,
Exclude me from your parade 
Aloof stand l, outcast l proclaim

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
