Quondam
Excellence
Sticky content, published
intending to boomerang its patrons,
Akin to other written
bits featuring horse-whispered pythons,
Perennial prickles of
invented hedgehogs and avuncular cats,
Leaves no clue that
regulated turkey meat cant get distributed
To Komodo dragons until a
malamoodle or two are consumed.
New editions of toasters,
dishwashers, furnaces, notwithstanding,
Its become
increasingly urgent for clumsy or botched attempts
At acquiring sinecures,
to be better rehearsed; most societies yet
Believe its an
uncommon privilege to eat lots of press releases,
Complain in international
forums, watch popcorn fairies dance.
After all, waste bins
remain finite, frightful, ill-conceived beasts.
Homework assignments,
mostly those arranged for broad daylight,
Still cause imbroglios,
still curry partiality among squamous sorts.
See, requiring new data
from nerds implies concealing big demons.
If only teacher rethought
their fondness for deadline-related gaps,
Wed use our letups
for lunar travel or for movie theatre vacations.
In the interim,
theres no corrective to parents values, no substitutes
For kindred
grownups tenets. Despite sundry oldsters appearances,
Forcing them to commit to
cultural appreciations of feathers, to bind
With uncommon paragraphs
of learning, chickweed, quells no hunger.
The ability to recite
long dead lyrics isnt anodyne for self-reflection.
Threadbare hearts spit
extant judicious ammunition while wrenching.
Somnolent Lounging on
the Sofa
Were fixed, in our
minds, that vulnerable parties require safety over comfort. Anyway,
Given the legalized abuse
of children, women, and animals (via federal ambient noise,
Also by communities of
readers glomming to bodice rippers and blood-tinged pages),
We will fail.
Hurts no question
of class prejudice or racial injustice; rather, stepping on lives
rounds
From: interest in
protexia over justice, fame over character, plus fortune beyond civility.
Too few actions,
nowadays, galvanize heroes, keep citizens from harm. Moreso, shared
Reality seems messed
up.
The status quo, despite
its caveat emptor exposition, suffers as a hotbed of
vituperating
Publics. Taken together,
we consume risky ideas, regulatory inspectors plus old engineers
Notwithstanding.
Rare allochtoons yet believe honestys myth or invest in vitiated
oaths;
Weve
failed.
Accordingly, society
perches some distance away from painful, physical interactions.
When a man and a woman
commit to building a home together, Heaven hankers, but
Sighing stays missing in
couples lacking thaumaturgy; currently, all magic is
gone.
Realitys messed
up.
Relations became
confounded as proffered information about work, leisure, habits, values
Emerged perplexing.
Ethnogenetics increasingly wrought to reify groups, establish
ethics.
Whats more, faute
de mieux, numerous tertiary schools feted intolerance for spiritual
folks.
Wed
failed.
On balance, because
marital hazards are dissimilar, relationship got unjustly weighted.
When feeling
cantankerous, or otherwise culling scripted outside morals,
unswerving
Types took to somnolent
lounging on the sofa, to respecting peculating ideas kill chaps.
Reality was messed
up.
Precordial
Thump
Horrible aggressions
remain sufficiently uncomfortable to think round, endeavor
Toward, respond to
(tolerating abuse is antithetical to all moral punctiliousness.)
Yet, neer will we
rule the cosmos, or, inversely, restrain pernicious individuals.
Concurrently, inviting
peers to interpret essential items for themselves is stupid,
As long as theyll
allege that their constrained interpretations are
appropriate.
Thus, others
nonmindfulness botches pleasure of even hope borne by breathing.
All in all, some of us
delay concerns about: rape, misogynous carnal encounters,
Gender prejudice at home
or school, abortion, and single parenthoods mutilation
Of self-authority. Risky
social myths abound around: stalking, domestic violence,
Exploitation, cruel
animal husbandry, maltreatment of zoo animals, customary
Predation, harassment,
elder harm, subjugated civil rights, enforced castes. In talk
Email, texts,
wisdom apropos apartments, finals, taxes, utters nothing on
evil.
Prejudice against
differently able, mentally challenged, neuro diverse folks, child
Molestation, desertion,
PTSD, the beholding of carers misuse, filicide, bullying,
Genocide, reversionist
acts build paddocks for otherwise compos mentis mortals.
We forget that
women are not vaginas, but complex entities; nurslings
need
Not to grow in fear or
develop broken self-esteem-they are precious; pets should
Not be thrown into
cooking pots. Its our duty to guard, not exploit, all of
nature.
The boreens between
arteries and the hearts remote passages constantly stream
With red messengers,
filling days and nights with corporeal bogies, plus tutelary
Rhythms. Yet,
synchronized with rubrics for surge, those sectors spurt warnings.
Acting in a
scholarly manner used to require hiding: dewars, nice hair,
Bibles.
These days, substitute
demographics, whose service vectors ebb from blossoms,
Elsewhere determine
noxiousness per inventing and vending small manuscripts.
Its easier to
integrate values via cat-like people or multi-legged monsters than
Comprehend basic truths
of human faults. In excusing so many uncanny valleys,
Weve become the
felons; weve grown contented with reprehensible veracities.
Its time to: yield
sagacity found in contemporary junkies wishful
judgments,
Transform our
customs character, allow ourselves dissonances
wretchedness.
We can be heroes
contesting taxing certs, or cowards if we accomplish elsewise.
