Pretentious Ponderings

Post-Truth World

Truth and principles turn into narratives and agenda
When vested interests laugh away at the madness
Siphoning away sanity while advocating freedom
When civility is worn as a cloak by agitators
To escape scot-free from the venom they preach
Or the classic excuse of misunderstood humor
Which is funny only for the likes who screech
Brave and honest, tough skinned and daring
All in their minds, doing the world a favor
Sensitive pearl-clutching righteous fervor
Restored to natural order awake from its stupor
Complain and whine with no stoppage for time
Over people for doing for their job far more sublime
Omnipresent, omniscient master architect
With a grapple hold on so-called conscience
A prime example of human brilliance
Taking credit for everything good
And when not, indulging in mysterious ways
Only a human can conjure
A feed-back loop of mental co-dependency
As a means of self-superiority
Over others with imaginary friends and rabid fanbases
Not mentioning the forsaken who're too far gone
Offended by arrogance whilst claiming the truth
Can be perceived by those on a higher plane
Or just share their views all the same
The architect has their hands full these days
Sullied by the pupil even if they were not fake
Some of it might be a bit too much to take
My ways are not for everyone's taste
Took thoughts and drive for this make
This opportunity is mine to take
When you laughed at other's wake
