In the Cards

 

Let go of the desperation
that is paralyzing your situation... 

Lose those chains of self pity
holding you back currently...

Time to embrace today's reality
and play the dealt cards as best you can...

Embrace the what should be obvious realization
that they can't all be aces 

Mental Health Mitigation

 

Not only
do miserable peeps
love company
they actively seek recruits
to join their misery symphony..

Fueled by unsocial media
we as a country
may have reached the tipping point
where depression is now the norm
and happiness the mental disease..

Until science finds an attitude vaccine

we need to put negativity on quarantine...

Let the naysayers keep infecting each other

with their rampaging bitchfest nonsense...

Try and stay above the contentious fray...

You'll be much happier this way

Callous Calculations

 

We the people species now classified
by the autonomous bots

as a rough approximation
of the standard median deviation
duly notated in the analytic bible
we are required to pray from...

So our inevitable dissolution
will be an impersonal data execution
of a cold blooded algorithm
installed to maximize program efficiencies

Once we skewed variances have been classified

and human imperfections properly identified

a massive data dump will be loaded

into all infected servers

to flush undesirable mutants

replete with defective deficiencies 

out of the now purified system

Hurray for Singapore

 

If a writer composes and nobody reads him

did he really write anything at all?

Welcome to the barren Island of Me...

Scribbler of anonymous poetry...

A total global non entity...

Invisible everywhere but there...

A far off speck on the map

where according to analytics

I am daily widely read...

Welcome to the Republic of Singapore..

Far far beyond the rainbow...

A sanctuary for my unclaimed words...

Don't ask me why I am a hit on these shores..

Maybe spies transmit my prose as code?

Secret messages embedded in the fine print..

Perhaps every syllable I scribe is  plagiarized?

Repackaged and recrafted as their own

for massive fame and fortune...

It all matters not in the grand scheme

these theories nothing more

than rocket fuel for my dreams...

I hope my new Singaporean friends read this

and use this blurb however they see fit

along with my sincere appreciation

for taking the time from their daily lives

to click on the shit that I write

Down Is Up

 

Been hanging by a tether thread
for so long
over this frickin abyss...

Twisting ever so slowly

in the indifferent breeze

with nothing below me

but the cruel force of gravity...

Fretting over the fiber shredded

in tearing increments
a fraction more each day
til all that remains for support
is a thin filament

with a broken future...

I realize finally

after much wasted consternation 
the crashing disconnect

I have long dreaded
will in reality
be my liberation

from chronic anxiety

Rise Up

 

God is there for you 24/7..

365 days a week to pray to and is a made to order solace source in times of grief but for God's sake he really needs you to eventually stand on your own two feet..

Free will atrophies if you use your deity as a crutch permanently

Down the Mudslide

These hardened walls we did create
of packed down dirt and delusions
have been dangerously softened
by the drip drip fact droplets
threatening our very denial existence...

Once mud saturation is reached

all barriers to truth will be breached

and our alternate reality bubble 
will collapse under it's own weight...

Push back blame will be dispensed
in one last gasp of accountability
by the citizens now muck drenched...

Deep down we all realized

our newly fashioned shroud of lies

carries the brand of the self deceived

who believe only what they wanna believe

Wither MAGA

 

Deeper we sink into this pit
of rationalization bullshit..

Weighed down by the chains
of denial and embarrassment
it's now beyond a daunting challenge
for us to climb out..

Pride will not allow us to admit
we were duped by a slickster 

who sent us down the wrong path

that led to our current descent...

Now comes consequence
we can no longer deflect ...

When history passes judgement

will it condemn our mass ignorance

or take into consideration

the slow boil desperation

that drove a large segment of the populace

to abandon common sense

and leap into this dark hole? 

The Jumbo Machine

 

Tell me no painful truths..

Tell me no contrary reality..

No limits to lie dimensions
if it fits the current narrative
we've been programmed to believe..

Give us this day
our ration of blast grievance

to focus the hatred of the Collective

on our designated enemy

Crank the dial of prejudice

to full scapegoat mode..

While we are at it

let's throw a monster rally

like they did back in times

when mega nationalists held sway

Cult Leader will crank the volume

as only the great man can..

Owning our insidious enemy

with blistering buzz phrases

of glorious negativity 

Telling the assembled throng

we are guaranteed to win

in this media photo op age

where crowd size makes right
