The Societal Downgrade

 And that’s what is like to be a societal downgrade,

To try something new – a predatory staid,

A new innovation and they are ashamed of what you made,

“To disown deems easier, than to drown through degrade.”

 

Wails and whoos ajolt crackling through air,

Few have the fire – and fewer the flair,

And those that do have – so bleed like blare,

And all their raptness hurries into repair,

 

I wish there’d be more for them to care,

Than the sadists, the societal whispers and snare,

The pawns that bustle with barely two hairs,

I wish their necks do dis-enjoin in despair!

 

The fire a feature, a newly wed mare,

Wed with the wows of wisdom from where,

From God I seek no more than a sacred scare,

But he gave the mediocre to battle and bear!
