Post-Modernism you have betrayed us

 

Post-Modernism you have betrayed us

 

The pen is apparently mightier than the sword

& yet the unpiloted drone flown remotely might know something, were it to have a consciousness

Metaphor, yunno

Before literally meant metaphorically

The day humanity (for me at least), ‘jumped the shark’

Yunno my moods are up & down

& unlike the crazies

I KNOW they’re up & down

Anyway, not unlikely, I was drunk yesterday

& the American Corporate machine which runs social media

Had a post about the inaugural ‘World Series’ baseball

Now because I was feeling loose

I commented “only America would name a domestic competition the World Series”

I forgot about it

Later this afternoon I open my instagram account

& see the comments section has gone bunta!

Some American ‘Patriots’ they call themselves

Took exception to my joke

I thought it was hilarious

But Americans, not known for their sense of humour

Started using battle speak

I thought it was hilarious

But then, Donald Trump looks likely to win an election as a convicted sex offender & general bullshit artist

Still pretty funny

Unless you’re a minority

Still some minorities will vote for him

Bring in the canned laughter

What brought me down was

I went to get some whiskey from the bottleshop

& saw Marcus

So I thought maybe I’ll have a drink with him

He’s an interesting guy

We started talking about his first play

As in theatre

Till we were interrupted by a bloke

Talking about aliens

Now in town it says “if you can be anything, be kind”

Nice in theory

But this guy was talking horseshit

Unlike the earlier bovine

Anyway I didn’t laugh

Coz really I wanted to vomit

Thoroughly depressing business

& evidence that the world has gone mad

& that the Corporations have achieved their endgoal

Via divide & rule

& crazy people

Think they’re sane

& sane people fear they’re crazy

Humanity has “jumped the shark”

Democracy is dead in the water

Whereby fairy tales receive the same reaction

As enreasoned evidence based ideas

Post-Modernism

You have betrayed us!

Fuck you

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...
