Tunnel-visioned looking through the Overton window,
bully pulpits full of bullies broadcast the dog and pony show,
clothed in a banana republic run by a kangaroo court,
sort out the haves and have-nots then court them for sport,
the two party system, a fallacy of black and white,
the malice is intact despite the clarity of wrong and right,
lobbying for revolution with zeal, cycling through revolutions on a wheel,
parody inspiring satire, televising the hyperreal,
snowflakes or sheeple cancel a culture they resist,
while vulture capitalists and oligarchs in a tryst sold your data hand over fist,
a common ruse, misused and abused,
feed the cash cow and milk it dry,
the common citizen now commodified,
myth of the free press impressing minds lobotomized,
pills not curing the traumatized?
assume the original position so you don’t get sodomized
in a veil of their ignorance,
strange bedfellows signal hints in handshakes and winks,
under the table dealings with hookers and pimps,
sleight of hand reveals a full house, saving their sins,
the game is rigged and the House always wins,
making it rain as bills trickle down,
but economists control the weather so those bills trickle around
and far above the rat race below, blurring our vision,
tribalisms smash on collision, collapse in division,
clash into schisms keeping us blind and imprisoned,
obscuring the light refracted in prisms of thought,
the thought police come to you in nightmares you bought
on a targeted ad, doomscrolling through fads,
dancing our way towards destruction in tides,
the algorithm abides, but please like and subscribe,
violence as American as apple pie,
a rich man walks while a poor man dies,
behind the scenes suits and pantsuits lining up their pockets,
cultivate the Third Eye and rip your pupils from their sockets.
