“Culture.” A Poem by Ifeanyi C. Oshun

 

 

 

Kim Kardashian farts and busts a butt implant,

and the world is a-flutter!

Irrelevant Insta-Tweets keep us in the gutter;

$10,000 phones seem justifiable,

but finding a job after college?  Pretty deniable.

 

The less you know, but the more willing you are

to sacrifice your dignity is what makes you a star–

Self-degradation now creates fame and fortune…

Talent, wit, charm and intelligence

have been subdued by the vacuous spawn born with influence

they neither earned nor deserved.

 

This…is 21st century “culture.”

It’s a fantastical farce of epic proportions…

a dark comedy of exponential distortion.

True artists and visionaries must fight to be seen and “herd”

because the Sheeple are so distracted

by the Fake, the Shallow, the Gilded , The Perverse.

This …”culture”… is comprised

of spin, lies and glittery Hollyweird dust…

fuck what’s real,

in the Illuminati Illusion we trust!

And while we’re dancing, covered in our foolish bling,

while our numb hearts mindlessly sing

about our consumer obsessed lives

too fast to enjoy and spiritually deprived…

FUCK…is this really all there is now?

Truly, the slavery is hidden, but REAL

Babylon is HERE

Alive and well,

feeding off our vanity, ignorance and fear.
