Corruption and Deception
Are a flirtatious pair
Public or Private
Is their nom-de-guerre
They dance in cohesion
In all seasons
Keep your eyes transfixed
On the Dancing Bears!
As their growth increases
With each flamboyant step
Up the economic stairs
The Ballad of Income Inequality
Plays louder!
As they divy up the shares
The Social and the Political
Class Culture
Is entranced in
The Entertainment and Legislator? Stars
And Billionaire Affair!
Look at me!
The ascendant politician or celebrity!
Actors are a dime a dozen
Yet are consistently treated as if producing a mystical artistry
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?
Laugh when the joke is not funny!
At your days at gallivanting grifting play!
Propagandizing political posterity with banal illusory vulgarity!
Performing to a village of idiots!
Under the neoliberal un-quantified economic faux sunlight
