1
Once young and stupid:
hypocrisy was shocking –
not any longer.
Talking heads are crammed with crap –
and these days I expect it.
2
Why should I listen?
Prelates shielding pedophiles,
praising demagogues –
the dull, collective discharge
of seminary slag-heaps.
3
“By these signs conquer?”
Pumping fists, the lynching noose,
the rebel war flag,
neo-nazi racist hate –
“some damn fine folks!” you tell me?
