Modern Times.

Ship of Fools.

Modern times.

There’s chatter of apparent solutions,

To all such universal problems,

That modern technology could solve,

But actually, there’s no such reality,

Honesty no more is owed fealty,

And all truth is softly dissolved!

The illness is not really cured,

Pockets never really filled,

And for all the saucy dating Apps..

Social media, facebook contacts,

Loneliness seems seldom resolved.

But worse of all is the pomposity,

Their jargon, slogans, accusatory

Proud heads on proud shoulders apparently,

Remain dispiritingly empty,

A cluster of opinion never original,

Would compete with volume immeasurable,

The hot air of a sizable dirigible,

Dribbling a leak, flatuous, unintelligible.

Such is the chatter indecipherable,

Of these modern times.
