Dirty games and dirty dancing, broken vases a, broken wisdom
Is us celebrating, celebrity mediocre as fine tune
And putting that on a mantle piece, Yes Sir !
Content hallow in the world of consumerism
Flash light, nothing last, nothing holds form
Nothing is built to last on this hype
Rushed through all in no time
No time for analysis, void in making meaning of
Factory belt sat on, moving motion passes by
In goes out comes a rabbit on heat speed fast vibration
A process defined with no added value, its battery powered
Its sensation sexuality sexualization wealth and arrogance
Hard to tell who is with wisdom among the crowd
Camouflage keep that unannounced, trainspotters hallucinating
Awareness is looking at one's self in the day after a hangover, it is not done
At night we all come out like vampires with thirst
Dress as the same, liquor fuels our agenda
Hard to differentiate the politician from the reverend
The prostitute services them all at the same time
And she is owed by both for non payment on tabs
Still they think it is right to ask for discount
On account Miley Cyrus and Micheal Jackson are frowned upon
But again the good die young so why not switch
In this crazed world we live in, one learns to adopt
Honesty is laying it bare, it is an art form of exhibitionist
Going naked is a protest by FEMEN activist
Yet the eyes are all engaged, gulled, perverting
Quick now, how they jump out of the wood works
First with stones, dirty hands and hypocrisy, cleaning mouths
With false self-conscience on misdirected attacks
Dirty games and dirty dancing, scarce morality
Who would grace this floor first
The music is in play
...no one dies clean (for sure) in this world, by nature, occupied by many dirty minds with dirty intentions... a loaded piece any moment will explode wide... smiles..
ReplyDeleteYou captured well the world of consumerism we live in and it is indeed hard to tell "who is wisdom" if we do not take the time to pause.
ReplyDeleteIf humans could understand all this and realise that except good will nothing is eternal than this world will be much better to live.
ReplyDelete"false self-conscience" - and a high paid job, giving the wrong sense of self worth. a bit problem.
ReplyDeleteIt is a powerful commentary on aspects of life. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAh, I agree....sometimes it is hard to tell who is with wisdom among the crowd. Sometimes it is not who we think!! And I like the last stanza, thinking of who will get out on the dance floor first. I enjoyed this, Kodjo, and I could hear it being read aloud.
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is a powerful look at today's society. Nothing built to last, minimal mores.......such a strobg write, Kodjo!
ReplyDeleteVery powerfully written and intense. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI feel the passion start in your first stanza and crescendo at the end. A frenzied dirty dance indeed dance
ReplyDeleteNicely done Kodjo
