In a world captured in shallow popular
imagination of discontent with life
where social media illustrates images
of the lifestyles of those who have
reached the pinnacles of success
judged by their status as celebrities
whose fame as public figures skilled
in staged presentations as 'artists' of
the screen, rhyming staccato statements
of sociopathic sentiments, singers and
dancers, comics and raconteurs, facile
authors of self-help solutions toward a
dubiously improved lifestyle, bringing
the demi-monde into full-lit prominence
as naughty but nice, the fringe of the
minority among the gender-confused
titillating the sensibilities of a scandal
starved public, politicians seeking their
standard of popular acclaim in search
of longevity in governance, societal
contortions reversing the status quo to
a nightmarish hellscape courtesy of
Hieronymus Bosch, all seeking the award
of public acclaim for turning culture on
its head and social awareness soiling
the human values of a spiritless society.
