Indignant

Following a short yet torturous observation of people
it seems there are a few running themes;
many are bursting at the seams,
stupidity, manipulation,
paranoia, and masturbation,
not to mention a few unfulfilled dreams.

The general populations collective IQ
IS as low as we're led to believe.
my patience shrinks, indignant,
my hope fades and yet I'm somewhat relieved,
society as we know it, I fear, will fall to its knees,
Human life as we know it will begin to recede,
oh, us beings of fetid disease.

Maybe theres somebody to blame
and if i find them
i'll point my finger and bluster
roar profanity with all i can muster
tie them up, cut them
and treat them hostile
and so to all en masse:
herd all your indiscretions into your cerebrum
and smile, smile, smile. (!)

I think you're bang on with your observations on society, and the general populace as a whole. Off to read more of your work, as I'm intrigued.

Please remind me that I have made a space for you in my bunker, when the shit hits the proverbial fan. Heehee. An excellent write, and painfully correct. Respectfully Jim "Laws and rules don't kill freedom: narrow-minded intolerance does" : Race
