21st Century Cynic Poem by W. Rod MacMasterson

21st Century Cynic

Rating: 5.0


Protest the Pope
Takin' out of context was the quote
Zionist threat?
Conspiracy theories what do ya expect
Social values down the drain
Feeling of superiority in the brain

Right and Left Cant agree
Movements crest as waves in the sea
Point a finger at Clinton,
Point a finger at Bush
FBI and CIA
A new scapegoat everyday
While percentages wane every night
How many wrongs make a right?
Does it matter whose runnin' the G-O-V
Whether Democrats or the G. O. P.
'It will fall like Rome just wait You'll see'

Libertarianism, Communism
Fascism, Liberalism
Isms and schisms
Fall like bricks
Through the prism
of my mind
Behind the Illusion
Theres a desultory fusion
of facts, fallacies
Scare tactics and anomalies

WWIII escalation on the rise?
Buy the ticket
Take the Ride
Such are the thoughts of,
A 21st century cynic.
