*Gone are the days of yore When intellectualism was a preserve Of the privileged and distinguished in society A family ‘heirloom’ passed on to succeeding generations* *Over the years the human mind Has morphed into a think tank of awe and bamboozlement An object for advancement…and destruction almost in equal measure A portal to self-destruction *Political pundits passionately discourse in the corridors Of power over an issue as mundane as   food taxes Am ****** if this aint a move to subjugate the populace Whilst reveling in the guise of representing the best interests of the electorate* *It’s a slap in the face of reason and logic A soiling and tainting of mother earth’s unconditional benevolence Extended to her humble earthlings as bountiful harvest But a means of self-aggrandizement it is for the politicians and their loyalists Apparently this is *political correctness

I beseech the heavens to confer upon the technocrats of this world common sense...cause...it's kind of a novelty to which they are unfairly or selectively denied
