Mindless tongues spew ignorance.
Mushroom clouds glow in irises
As stupidity’s shock waves
Blanket the masses.
Some heads hang in shame
While other gaping mouths
Echo with laughter.
Did he just say that???
Hands thrown up begging for mercy
When twisted tongues twist heads
Are you off your meds?
Dogs raising eyebrows
Wimp in disbelief,
Cat just rolled his eyes
And went back to sleep.
Dummy geniuses flaunt
Inflated egos like
Bikini models strutting runways.
Little do they know, literally.
I can think of forty five ways
Money doesn’t make you smart
Education dollars exchanged
For senseless reasons.
Makin’ folk do dumb stuff
The bigger the dollar sign
The higher the power
The more bs you’re allowed
To get away with.
Or so some have thought.
The goose and gander
Share no equality.
Slapped wrists temporarily
Sting dirty hands.
While others got trumped
By cuffs in the public eye.
Network execs said no no no
Then turned the headline’s
Spotlight on the one man show.
If you can’t see the signs
You gotta read between the lines.
Know the world in which you live
Artificial intelligence comes
In all shapes, forms and ways
And is running amuck.
Don’t get hoodwinked.
