inspired by Lawrence Beck's An Exercise in Futility
Let’s resign from Evolution,
fully aware we’re barely aware;
time’s awaiting. With Humanity
barely brained to conjure a world
in which people are whole and equal;
mirth bound, and shackled, unrespected,
rarely eloquent beyond objections
amongst billions of biorbital visages,
seeking, queuing and devouring,
riding-cropped delivering oppressors
recharging each new generation, each
an ox, corralled and tagged, chipped;
inoculated to obedience, aware of little.
Their papier machéed cud over-chewed
gum; glazed stares, involuntarily
discharging mindless banter at them
whose warnings have fallen on deaf ears.
