Us Poem by jim hogg
Us
A thing of endless wants, with falsity to match
I see us everywhere, our legions on the march
Talking up hypocrisy and brandishing the cross
Talking meritocracy so long as we're the boss
And beauty we devise within our very eyes
And measuring ourselves we find the perfect size
Is it any wonder then that we should build a god
To take our devils on within our inner quad
A high elusive force for casting useful blame
To minister control, and vouch for name and fame
And when we track the pea, we're never fast enough
the fraudster with the shells is strangely always us
A powerful piece of observation on humanity - by attributing all our successes to ourselves and our failings to something or someone else our failings are never simply down to 'us', yet it is 'us' and only 'us' that are responsible for the decisions and choices we make and the paths that we follow...effortless rhymes to accompany your poetic reasoning...
