10-Private Thoughts for Public Consumption

Private Thoughts for Public Consumption

The adroit arbitrators of non-science

Feed an exhausted nation with false confessions

Preachers of havoc serve up an endless supply

Of temporary lies to obliterate the obvious

 

Blinded by power and affluence

Officials of dubious distinction fill the airwaves

Overwhelm us with truth free distractions

Delivered with impotent stares

 

Injustice is served by humorless bureaucrats

These hatemongers didn’t notice the karmic backlash

By those naked and vulnerable

And their rejection of indoctrination

 

The powers that be were not protected

By their bomb shelter discrimination

When the explosion in the fantasy factory occurred

The underbelly chic felt the fears they inflicted

 

The false gods retreated

As the retro rage of the masses erupted

Chewing is a psychological process

That lets the brain know you are full

 

Despite the mandate

I am back from the abyss

I’ll never be one hundred percent again

But at least I’m back in the fight
