Full moon through barbed wire fence

I need to somehow escape desire
Gratitude is incompatible
With consumerism's bright fire
(I don't think this debatable)

We have created an addict culture
Hooked on petrochemical ease
Where only the rich have any future
(Current modernity's only sleaze)

Existence is full of torment
I am, although, indistinguishable
Present in my life at this sad moment
(Ashamed I was once incorrigible)

My classroom became a seance instead
Where I am communicating across
The thin line between the quick & the dead?
(It is easy to forget who is boss)

I wonder if I'll ever get over
The obnoxious need to be understood
By people who others' freedom smother?
(Maybe if I surrender I could)

Here I am, awake, alive, & conscious
Fortune has provided me with today
I am grateful but not obnoxious

SelfieSonnet (3-30-26) curiosity
I grandiosely frame my nosiness
As a form of curiosity:
Obscures my artistic lousiness
(That's ego's impetuosity)

I'm desperately searching for some noise
To distract me from reality
Finding these algorithmic toys
(That merely cover banality)

Like carbon dioxide I'm low
Barely heavier than oxygen's air
I tell you this so ʇɐɥʇ they can know
(Who the f•ck told you ʇɐɥʇ life was fair?)

Nobody really gives a flying f•ck
About none of my concerns or beliefs
Nevertheless I'm here on Bluesky stuck

Inside of each individual
Is possibility's mother-load
Endless supplies of ore convivial

Here abundance is plentiful
Even in miracles shortages
People will attempt to be dutiful
(The universe continues discharges)

Insidiously ostensible
The average modern man is now
Pathetically reprehensible
(This is modernity's sacred cow)

Ever since I was a just a child
In ʇɐɥʇ naive optimism of youth
I wanted to matter & be wild
(It's embarrassing to tell the truth)

I am here today willing & able
Although I am fairly uncertain
I will continue this life's fable

Hope keeps digging
For the treasure
It knows is waiting
(Deeper than pleasure)

Optimism
Excavates
Calvinism
(There’s no debates)

Faith has fucking clout
Northern theism
Reflects cold doubt
(Try determinism)

Back at the very start
Aware ʇɐɥʇ I’ve done my part

The world will continue its crooked path
Even without my vanity’s rhymes
The poor will die & the rich will laugh
(Neither will stop avarice’s crimes)

An inconvenient lethality

Constantly locating stupid problems
