The Fluff Age Poem by G, E. Gorfu

The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Iron Age, are passed
Welcome to the Fluff Age of Western Civilization

Amazing what this era has brought us
It used to be that one dug deep to get a solid foundation
It used to be that one built edifices to last generations
It used to be that honesty and integrity were the guiding stars
Well, all that is in the past and you can just forget them!

Now, the shallower one is the better rewarded
The emptier the head, the higher it floats, straight to the top
Just like in boxing where size and muscles rule the ring
A brain surgeon is nobody but the cosmetic plastic is the king

Building pyramids to last millenniums is of bygone era
Now they build with cardboard and glass just for a season
And before the season is over, they blow them up to dust
And the greatest swindlers and crooks are mounted high up
Honored, decorated, wined, and dined

That is what the Fluff Age of the West has brought us
And that is what it will be remembered, or forgotten for...
