Corruption and deception
Are a flirtatious pair
Public politician or Corporate Private
Human is primate?
Is their nom-de-guerre
They dance in cohesion
In all seasons
Keep your eyes transfixed
On the never quit dancing bears!
As their insider stock growth increases
With each flamboyant step
Up the neoliberal economic stairs
The Ballad of Income Inequality
Plays louder and louder!
As they divvy up the economic shares
The Social
The Political
The diminished Economic
American Culture
Is entranced in
The entertainment and legislator?
At the moment stars!
And billionaire highfalutin affairs!
Look at me!
The ascendant politician or celebrity!
Actors are a dime a dozen
Yet are consistently treated as if producing a mystical artistry
Fantabulously!
Why must I perpetually be forced to idealize
Mundane mediocrity?
Advertised incessantly via old media television and print/internet gossipy
Pretend these prating pusillanimous non-legislators
And artists?
Own the creative prize
The pesky fly has multiple eyes!
Laugh when the joke is not funny!
At your days at gallivanting Scamelot
Grifting play!
Propagandizing political posterity
Banal illusory vulgarity!
Performing to a village of idiots!
Unwind to Shakespeare’s “What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.”
Electing a narcissistic wanna-be Emperor
Under the unyielding eviscerating poor and middle class
Economic faux sunlight
