Destroying Careers and Countries

     Destroying Careers and Countries

A "safety" net catches the clueless
with buoyant defiance
in the face of facts.

The net is but a small part of life,
every crowd has its own independent net
tangling victims into perpetual victim-hood.

The net is not the ground,
not firm earth- not freedom
or flying- or good advice...

The net traps the falling in debacle,
distorting reality as if fiasco & failure
are glorious victory and solid proof

that a targeted 'other' is utterly
despicable and wrong
wrong wrong.

The net is made sticky by idiots
praising all the worst & promising
the impossible.

The net nurtures delusions
and divisiveness while children
go hungry and wars get worse.
