POLI-SCI-FI VERSE

POLI-SCI-FI VERSE

Subversion is self-consciousness –
A counterfeit for depth –
A fundamental ignorance –
A lack of height and breadth –

An adolescent undermine –
A disconcerting strike –
A tantrum for dismantling
The virtues they dislike.

Politicos Anonymous –
Astute but seldom wise –
Condemning what they cannot spoil
Or cleverly revise.

An underhanded sabotage
To slander – slash – and burn –
Destruction of prosperity
They did not help to earn.

They try to make us serfs and dupes –
Bully goals are feudal –
Progressive pretext for control –
Show of force – But – futile.
