Are you serious?

Oh...you are! Abecedarian.

ChatGPT did what I told it...sorta...with mixed results, creating this image.

are you serious?

blimey, you are

can't make this up

deceptive and manipulative

enabling malnutrition and suffering

ferociously elitist

grotesquely classist

how do you sleep at night?

in luxury, of course

just, don't think too hard

kids whose mum's can't eat and heat their home

life's a bed of nails, for them

money's tight, for them

not their fault, system rotten

opulence all around you

privilege and opportunity

quit suggesting you care

reality has set on us all

society crumbling

traditional values

underminded and undervalued

venison tonight?

wash it down with bubbly?

xyster to our bones

you scourge us at your

zenith

Thanks for reading!
