The Dire Situation

The Entitled wrap
Themselves in Themselves.
Of all creatures,
They have the greatest strut.

Distraction is their habit,
Normal, a special invention,
Providing insulation,
Tailored reality.

Nature has been reduced
To room for recreation,
Or an opportunity
For further exploitation.

Appetites digest the earth.
Growth is a laughing thief,
As distant from reality
As the fiscal year.

Irony has an exquisite edge
In this frozen moment,
Should a survivor be interested
In such foolish history,

A Twist of Need:

Youth is no longer disadvantaged
By insufficient experience.
No one
Has sufficient experience.

Their flash expansion of perception,
Explodes from older irresponsibility,
Responds above vested interests,
Beyond propaganda of profit.
