Sin Bin

The God we did invent

to track this sin concept

has become quite antiquated

and thoroughly irrelevant

in this age of mass discontent

The chains of behavior control

have been loosened permanently

All that remains

is the residue of guilt

from a bygone age

when peeps still gave a damn

about consequence

Cannibal Clubbing

Wanted to hook up with this chick so badly

I looked past her radical Antifa tendencies

So she took me to her favorite Deep State eatery

The Cannibal Club based in socialist L.A.

where all the best leftist celebs go to feast

on the succulent tender flesh of children

I always thought this was just a kooky QAnon myth

but there were the Clintons standing next to me

as we walked past the all you can eat Carnivore Buffet

At a corner table were the Obamas

dining on finger food munchies

as they chatted with the Spielbergs

who were busy sipping their blood lattes

My date order the Creamy Infant Bisque

which she proclaimed to be the house specialty

Seeking to avoid political confrontation

I told my dining companion I was a vegan

She called me out on my lie immediately

and screamed that I was a closet MAGA fascist

whose interest in her was purely prurient

The mood in the boisterous bistro grew tense

The Cancel Maitre d came over to denounce my existence

Banishment from this horrible establishment was decreed

for this was no place for such a fussy citizen like me

I wish this doomed relationship

with the sexy communist

had a happy ending

but at least I got a taste

of how the depraved half lives

More Than Worthy

 Unacceptable return on investment

was the label I once wore

back when I was not such a hot commodity

This brutally universal assessment

was the genesis of my depression

that extended deep into this century

til I finally came to realize

the folly of letting others devalue me

Confessions of a Frustrated Puppet

Deep down we all knew
truth on social media was skewed

Our click algorithms fed the slant

Dividing us into warring camps

Each side with their own versions of truth

Advocate text soldiers fighting battles fervently

Harsh debates raging on perpetual loop

Friendships became collateral casualties

Deflecting attention from our true enemy

Yanking our chains strung from shadow clouds

Life Redefined

Today's fluid ambiguities

are wrecking prior reliable metrics

to such an extent

that no one knows where we're at

For us to get back knowledge

we gotta lose these pointless measurements

Recalibrate standard definitions

and reboot the glossary

Bitches and Brats

Why in these days of mass discontent

I find myself constantly invoking

the "Two wrongs don't make a right" argument?

One would think by now this would be obvious

but uncivil discourse has become so childish

with all this tit for tat bullshit

Frustrated zealots now two sides

of the same tarnished coin

Instead of engaging contrarian views

in spirited, constructive debate

partisans instead hurl fire bomb invectives

which only serve to create

a culture of "us versus them" politics

This lack of civility is very depressing

For we as a society truly are regressing

when we should be stepping up

to collectively meet the challenges

of these trying times
