Seeking peace and tranquility/
In days of confusion, chaos, anarchy and clouded obscurity/
Kings and queens illuminating their rays of nobility/
Deciphering right from wrong with such simplicity/
When in reality/
The distinction lies in an unknown territory of complexity.
Vision blurred/ sights obscured/
An irreversible deficiency in your inability to see/
As you reign high on your bolstered throne/
A crown of ignorance perpetuates an infectious disability of ostentatious tyranny.
Your cerebrum’s inactivity dilutes your wisdom/
Leaving you in a perpetual state of a cyclical stupidity/
With that tiny brain of yours, so itty bitty/
Makes me pity thee/
Because you can’t see the causality between the circumventing rhetoric on Fox news and America’s so-called “democracy”/
So you received your Masters, J.D. and PhD in political philosophy and ancient history/
But your unfounded wisdom is worth less than a Pakistani rupee/
And what have you got to show for your multiple academic degrees?
Just that fact that you’re incapable of distinguishing between the Atlantic Ocean from the Black Sea.
It’s like your mind is stalled while in transition/
Attempting to switch gears between the break and gas pedals/
Not realizing you ain’t even got the proper ignition key.
Your static inactivity makes you falsely perceive that Reality is a show on late night MTV/
Hypnotized by the pendulum of ignorance that swings with its magnetic force convoluting your mind with a false sense of security/
Only able to see the world through the lens of the black and white/
Colorblind leaving you incapable of seeing the beauty of diversity/
Leaving you to rely on cheat sheets and shortcuts for quick cash and a speedy victory/
So continue on with the Cardinal sins—the lust, greed, envy and gluttony/
Continue believing that our hegemonic capitalistic ideology will lead us to victory/
And with that I say, Good luck and God speed.

Sarah, did you write this yourself? It’s impressive. I like your choice of words.
You’re a poet. Take it from me.
