The Inevitable Decline

Noblesse oblige
Was under siege
That battle is done
And it's greed that has won.

Once the uber rich's predation
Would have caused a sensation
But now it is the norm
So, the rest of us must conform.

Our former Commander in Chief
Clearly is a thief
As many have suspected
And yet he might get reelected.

Bureaucracy
Hypocrisy
Kleptocracy
Then autocracy.

The tune you're humming
When you know it's coming
While the future isn't here
Surely it is near.

The Blight Of Being Convinced You're Right

Society seemingly has wrought
Citizenry purity of thought

Yet with so much to befuddle
Better would be intellectual muddle.

It's The Same Story In Many Different Contexts

Zero sum
Is terribly glum.

It's winning the game
Without feeling shame.

So many can relate
To a future of hate.

A higher ideal
Is now incredibly unreal.

Releasing The Mind's Detritus

Self-expression
One part confession

Another part prayer
Hoping something is there

Then it's going slow
Patience and finding flow.
