THE GREAT ANESTHETIZATION In the epoch of 'The Great Anesthetization' Progress is an axial word. All is controlled by false imageization. The truth, seldom uttered or heard. Vices run rampant and virtue is feigned. The she-wolf is always well fed. Lawyers turn liars and Justice turns lame, The fish rotting first from the head. Logic forsaken in favor of power, The lion is no less denied. Liberty, Freedom, sent back to the tower Until all the mayhem subsides. Wisdom and Knowledge are buried 'neath nonsense. The knave and the fool take the stage. Art is reduced to gimmicks and pretense. The poet is left but to rage. Mechanized music is heard through the land, Mediocrity placed up on high. Monotonous drone leaves the lyric disbanded, With less for the ear than the eye. Apostatic jargon replaces all Faith. Mercy and kindness are lean. , Hope does not spring but in guise of a wraith, Who does not uplift but demean. Courage is wanting for even the brave, In seeking the perpetrators. The never seen enemies skillfully stave All rebuke that comes close to their door. Opulent profligates flaunt and parade, While the homeless and hungry increase. Journalists play to the shameless charade. The pomp never comes to surcease. Pornography serves to enervate Love. The leopard can easily deceive. Violence and sex go like hand and glove, When lust, greed and wrath interweave. The fate of the unborn is put up on trial Woman's choice is the law of the land. Religious fanatics in predictable style Myopically misunderstand. Specious compounds of fiendish device Are set out as traps to ensnare Any and all, who would so be enticed, To escape to an insular lair. Global arms dealing tops the sales charts, The acme of capital's crown. Conscientious objectors are tagged bleeding-hearts No one may dare slow it down ! Systemic toxicity threatens extinction. Each element is under siege. Blatant abusers are given extensions Without even losing prestige. Ineluctably , apathy passes for Prudence. Impotence leads to despair. The future seems lost to inveterate fraudulence. THE PATHOS - BEYOND COMPARE.
