I saw some of the wannabe greatest minds of our generation, corrupted by the compulsion of capital,
Bow down in loyalty to the non-existent king whose propaganda talk of spite and hate seduced the minds of citizens,
Splintering the nation of once rational folk into troops of outraged souls.
I saw citizens their humanity revoked as neighbours stood idly by fearful that a fictional technicality would mean they were next,
The lawmakers presenting logics backed by shaky facts and figures exaggerated, plucked from the ether, as men do declaring the size of their ****.
I saw brother turn against brother for a non-existent belief in the greater good whilst all the while lining the pockets of the king and his wannabe greatest minds of our generation,
Their hate and anti-hate spewed onto the bonfires of vanities that is the home of the daily town square.
I saw the followers of Gods betray their philosophies and fellow worshippers predicated in the knowledge that all are Judas and only they have the true understanding of what God really meant,
Their esoteric knowledge not God given but used as defence for their power grabbing, humanity destroying acts executed with the upmost of callousness.
I saw him cry “How long before they banish my demons and pray the straightness into me making me a soldier of God and they as Christ?”
“No God of mine is full of spit and bile against fellow brothers and sisters who are who they are and proud to be so. I see through the flimsy guise trying to indoctrinate the public believing they are fools to be bent to their will.”
I saw the anguish and despair as the words fell on deaf ears, wanderers bypassing the truth unable to take up the challenge.
I saw the shameful and inferior minds of our generation, the ones they call the greatest, fellating each other’s egos armed with rhetorical daggers ready to be launched in the back,
Those smiling assassins destroying friends and colleagues all for the crown.
I saw lives slowly eroded, held ransom by the leaders of nations,
Grifters hawking the latest think tank theory of late night pub politics where patrons believe they have the answers to all life’s woes as seen through the beer goggles of rationality.
I saw humanity rise up, flex its collective muscles, refuse to back down, and slap the **** out of them,
Knocking great minds and kings back to the depths of hell or whichever cess pool they emerged from contradicting Darwin’s theory.
This is inspired by the poem Howl by Allen Ginsberg. You can probably guess who this is aimed at. Leaders of the world beware, you are there because we allow it. However, we can and do end it.
