Take Notice, Ye Cynics

 

The Alpha Pack has convened yet again.

Among the twenty scoundrels in attendance

along with their unctuous on-side cronies

with the collective potential to exercise 

unlimited power to challenge that of our 

creator who can summon earthquakes

volcanoes, tornadoes,  floods and fire to

remind we cowering creatures who it is

invested in command of cowering billions.

There they are in the splendid array of

their feted accomplishments; a litany of

failure by a gathering of egotists whose

self-regard is resolute and impregnable

to criticism for those that do are bereft

of influence, incapable of gathering to

themselves and their cause the tumult

of revolt. The crass and the avaricious

find it expedient to their ends to cling

fast to such leaders while the righteous

and the courageous call all to notice.

Dissatisfaction in governance however 

fails to move the principled intelligent

to the office rank and repugnant with

humiliation. Even for the people by the

people spectacularly failed, leading to 

the hubris-endowed and their ambitions

those least bothered by conscience to

rule, dissemble and assemble in triumph.
