It
is
what
it
is,
Nothing
to
brag
about,
something
to
mourn.
Over eras
we learned
that more was less,
and wouldn’t last,
We civilized the indigenous
out of their ingenuity.
Then
we
created
artificial
problems
much
easier
to
solve.
Alienation was essential.
Detestation compulsory.
We pretended things were normal
constantly downgrading definitions of the norm
until they
melt
down
big
time.
