Gatekeepers
Guarding
The access
To knowledge
And some
Greater evils
We had to abolish

Start shredding the news
I’m grieving today
You play not so great
Parts
In the heart
Of LA
And ablaze
Is encroaching
Where lives matter
Most
Where the homelessness spreads
Avocado on toast
And the host
Of the talk show
Or podcast
Awoken
Amassing
Vast fortune
Non-fungible token
A hope that delusions of grandeur
Sustain us
Oases of plentiful
Potencies
Tame us
Proclaim to us
All the solutions
Salvation,
That Satan himself
Is the PBS station
But all machinations
Of waning states’
Greatness
Must propagate
Some form of hate
To create this
Supremacy culture
War’s winning mentality
Dog eat dog
Alpha male’s
Failed nationality

Not veracity
But frequency
Determining
The truth
And it is just
How many times
The jingle ringing
Ears of youth
Have heard
Routinely
What is schemingly
Alluring
And seductive
And it’s limiting
Abilities
To reasoning
Deductive
What its function
Is inherently
To pacify
The meek
But in reality
Adherents
Are empowering the weak

Sever synapses
Themselves
Or take heed
That deep frying
The circuitry
Amplifies
Greed
In a world
Where monopolists
Still rig the game
And their brands
Build the boardwalks
And jails
To detain
In a blackout
Of hunger
And thirst
To reclaim
A more clarified sense
Of exigency’s
Belly
When starved for attention
Like some
Megyn Kelly
But ultimately
We’re all *******
And warring
And boring
Ourselves
To a blissful
Oblivion
Entering
Wealthy
Or peasantry
Synonym
Judged before
Faced with eternity
Swimming in
One cataclysm
More costly
Than last
If we still fail
The basic exams
Of the past

Not much
For observation’s blinds
Unless they’re on
Vacation’s dimes
For time is of the essence
Of some all too precious
Prescience
And myopic are
The open eyes
Divining
Not a penchant  
For an overload of senses
Mother Nature’s
Battle trenches
When transparency
Requires
Darker-shaded
Ethnic lenses

Little excites
Like it used to
Ignites
The creative spark
Darkening
Save to incite
An incisive
But maybe
Divisive
Disorder
Identity crises
Of billionaires’
Borders  
And lawlessness orders
Like Wild West
Fable’s
Evangelists
Saying
Its grace at their tables
But saving their scraps
For as always
The trash
As their scare tactics
Home economically
Crash
Into fast money
Supermarkets
To the rescue
And poster boy
Seek and destroyers
To bless you
With testing their products
And formerly “services”
Rendered
By state
And municipal servicemen
All just exploited
Sold off
Or disposed
By the donor class
Capital gains
Undisclosed

I saw some people
In need
And I helped them
Some way
Shape or form
For a moment
I felt them
But also saw
Opportunistic
Endeavors
Fortuitous chances
To watch how it weathers
In whether or not
I decide
To be tending
Acculturation’s
Cultivations
Ascending
To more hungry lion’s
Shares
First feeding me
And what’s left of the carcass
Society
I would sell to the vultures
At auction
And keep
The pride rock
For my kind
To impregnably sleep
And in promises steeped
In self-serving deceit
Subjugate
Sycophantic
Hyena
Elite
And as long as no
Exiled kings
Should contend
You will never go hungry again…
And again
