There is a red flag in many new style trends;
They represent a confusion of values.
It is like weakness, when they go crazy.
It stems from a basic rejection of the truth, weakness,
When the self-proclaimed wise, who read the New York Times
Fail completely to perceive the signs of the times.

Dionysus told his maenads to rip the thing apart.
The goat was thrown into the midst of their trance.
We think we understand them, but we don’t.
They only knew some bleating thing entered their trance.
And they sang something like this: Oooh baby!
We delirious maenads ripped apart our own baby!

These weak-*** patriarchs be hatin’. Let us twerk.
Someday the wokeness shall prevail, and we shall sleep.
The orchard will wither. True poetry shall rise
And twerking be seen as something true and deep.
And all we inflicted upon your culture
Shall be esteemed as truly authentic culture.
