Owed to Byron Rufus Newton

Distasteful in air, under meds,
under-nourished and over-bred,
Soulless, Source-less, bank’s delight,
Numbed by day and dumbed by night;
Bedwarfed the truth, enlarged the fiction,
Ruled by fear and deception,
Couture robed and K-Mart clad,
Tweeting, twerking, money mad,
A floundering herd in nefarious mesh,
A carelessness with human flesh,
Blinded by avarice, lack and rum
Civilization, thy name’s Delirium.
