One wishes that things were much better, such that one could just blog about wildlife and nature’s flowers, but they are not. The ship of the world, whether we realize it or not, is in a very precarious condition and it, due to indifference, is most definitely sinking; too many of us are walking around as if we are on a luxury cruise.
In ancient Rome, the conniving politicians held the masses in complacency by providing them with plenty of entertainment in the Colosseum; there were many forms of entertainment that involved death. Now, dancing from the strings of fossil fuel corporations and big industry, most politicians robotically react, and people get big fossil fuel transportation vehicles to have a lot of fun in. If all fossil fuels ended today, our atmosphere would remain critically polluted for 60 years. At the Colosseum, there was a lot of indifference among the endless entertainment back then; many of us haven’t changed from that paradigm whatsoever.

The fusty,old politicians have succeeded,so far,
at keeping myriads of us(in this particular
galaxy)at bay
So many of us sit complacently,hog-tied mentally,
while hitching a ride with hypocrisy
laughing at jokes along the way
Most of us should be pronounced DOA(not
necessarily down in any hospital,but just
psychologically,upstairs)
They divert our minds,consume our integrity,
and want us to philander with superficiality
as we lower our underwear
