This just in-

              the world is going to

end

                            begin

              when

then there will be a day

              -leading experts say

                             Of reckoning

                                           Enlightening

                             Rhapsodizing

              prophesizing

Maximizing our gains while minimizing

Impact

Equity

Inclusion

              Diversity

Intelligence

              -imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

                                           You know what they say

Great minds think alike

              (but fools rarely differ)

We gather-

here today

              and remember

                             to like, comment

                             and subscribe

              -we don’t prescribe

we can’t abide

by

this

dead air

any

-more after this brief message

The protestors refused to allow passage

              -body cameras were deactivated

                             The situation has escalated

              Peace talks are at a stand off

-and we have lift-off

              Highest rate of recidivism

                             -glorified corporate sadism

              Spoon-fed consumerism

We want you

We want

We

Want

Want

Want

              To

                             Begin

                                           Again

                                           And

                            Learn

Again

Love

Again

Again

Again

again
