Sliver

Avail yourselves to surveil yourselves; a camera at each door.
Privilege of the privileged; a guard against the massing poor.

Let suspicions fester as upper classes dine on oil & flesh.
Percolate brews of archaic views; foment revolution fresh.

The self-recording multitude thumb their screens to find some freedom.
Whilst wealthy brats with baseball bats roam the edge to carpe diem.

Both red & blue pull levers in yearly democratic courses.
Pissing away their capital on Russian-backed racing horses.

When put like this, it all seems futile; but there’s hope I’m yet to mention.
Clear-eyed kids choosing words over vids; may parent new invention.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
